I know it's possible to get pregnant when
you're on birth control but also taking
antibiotics... Well, i've been on
penicilin for roughly a week and still
have a few more doses to take. I've been
having sex without a condom, my boyfriend
doesn't come in me (and hasn't in a long
time) and he also never seems to have
pre-come (who knows, though). Anyone know
how long you need to use a backup method
to be protected because of the antibiotics
or if penicillin really is one of the
antibiotics that decreases the effect of
birth control? I'm on ortho lo. I've
read conflicting things. Kimmeh, i'm
pretty sure you said you got preg this
way... Let me know... Thanks girls

Virtually all antibiotics reduce the
effectiveness of birth control.
You need to use a back up (barrier) method
from when you start the antibiotics until
7 days after you stop taking the
antibiotics.
And you know that the pull and pray method
is not a method hon.
Pre-cum is fluid that lubricates the
urethra of the penis.
I'm going to go get a nice diagram and
make a whole new post about this pre-cum
business.

Yes, I definitely know it isn't a method,
lol. I realize I probably made myself
sound like a newbie! Thank you for
responding.
