Can having been on antibiotics make your
period be a little off track?

Not a Doctor But... Posted: 10-29-06 13:43pm
Honestly... I've been to the doctors and
there was nothing that they could find
wrong because of my age it is normal...
But this is how it has been for years...
Before I was on bc I was skipping like
crazy. While on it I had a normal cycle
because it increases the hormones
needed... But when I got off my period
almost seized to exist but for every two
to four months... And just because you
are on bc doesn't mean you have to be
sexually active... A lot of people
misconstrue that... You can be on it
because you might feel more secure or
something like that.
Maybe you should try going on birth
control. Yes there are risks but it might
help. Also do go to your doctor or
gyno... They could offer more suggestions
or even check to see if it is a health
problem, which I highly doubt.
Also if you excercise often or do
strenuous sports... And stress a lot then
that could be another factor. If anything
don't worry about it... It happens to a
lot of people (girls)

If you are on b/c and are having sex you
could very well be pregnant. Anytime you
get a prescription you should read up on
it, please do not take me wrong, I am not
bashing you. Stress, anxiety, your body
changing, their could be several reasons
that you are late on your period but if
you feel that you might be pregnant
especially having un-protected sex or
using medications such as antibiotics and
are having sex without using a condom you
should take a home pregnancy test. Are
you ttc if so let us know if you are
pregnant.
Good luck!

basically I forgot to mention pregnancy.
It is common for someone to think that
they aren't prego when they are,
especially if it is their first child.
But yes, like sandyallen said about the
home pregnancy detection device, it might
lift your spirits to let you know if you
are... Or not...
Keep us posted

Hello.. I know this post is a little old,
but I just wanted to mention, (for anyone
who did not know this before), if you are
on b/c, the antibiotics can cancel out the
effectiveness. I'm not exactly sure how
it works, but I know that when I was
prescribed some amoxicillin, the doctor
told me to use a back up method, because
it can sometimes affect the success of the
b/c. Maybe i'm wrong... But I am pretty
sure.
So be careful if you are sexually active
and using antibiotics. Prepare to use
another method as well. Good luck..
