I've been on the pill for almost 3 years now, and take it religously, at the same time everyday - I've never missed a dose. However, last month I was put on anitbotics, and since I knew that could effect it, my fiance' and I refrained from making love. I got my period as normal, and on my 6th and 8th day of my new cycle, we had intercourse - forgetting that I had had just been on antibotics a few weeks before. Will the antibotics effect the pill this month - is it possible that I might get pregnant now from those two times? Or did the new pack start working COMPETELY again after I finshed my period? I'm really worried...if you could help me out, I'd appreciate it!

I was put on Augmentin on my 11th day of my last pack. I was on it for 10 days, and then got my period a few days later. I started my new pack, and on then had intercourse on my 7th and 9th day of that cycle (I said the wrong days ealier). After realizing it, we've stopped doing anything - I'm now on day 12, and am just worried.

If you read the papers with the pill it should say how long the window you should wait needs to be. You should be fine, I don't think you have anything to worry about. The chances aren't that good anyways... but there of course is always some chance. If your really concerned consult your doctor, and in a couple weeks take a test, but I seriously doubit it...

It depends. If it was a few weeks ago that you started and finished the birth control, I doubt that the pill is effected. I was on antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. I had just started a new pack and my doctor told me to wait to have sex without condoms until I started my next pack. If you're very worried, I suggest calling a pharmacist instead of listening to someone on the net.

you may have to wait to see if your next period starts, but usually after being on the pill that long it takes anywhere from 3 months to 1 year to get pregnant.

You should be fine, but generally, after your period, the pill takes roughly three days to be fully effective.

Since you have been on the pill for so long, it probably won't effect you. But, I'm not 100% sure, so I'd check with my doctor is I was you!

Sweetie if your worried you should see your doctor and tell he/she what happened to you and your plan to be on birth control. But most importantly pray to god everyday. i have encountered trust me its a scary feeling to go through also when your period is over take a pregncy test.
