I was on antibiotics last month when I had
my wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon
didn't seem to know what he was talking
about when I asked him about the
antibiotics interfering with bc, so I did
some online research. The kind of
antibiotic I took was known to affect bc,
and I also read that you should use a
back-up method for at least 7 days after
finishing the antibiotic/wait until
starting your new cycle.
Although it was after 7 days, I had
unprotected sex with my boyfriend the week
of my period (obviously, right before my
new cycle). Should I be concerned about
pregnancy?

You could be at an increased risk,
especially after antibiotic use.
You would need back-up for 14 days
basically. 7 while on antibiotics, and 7
days after..
How much risk we cannot exactly tell you
:/
