If you have to be on antibiotics thenuse a different form of birth control for the time being.

YES! They significantly decrease the effectiveness. You'll need to use an alternate BC for about a week after you've stopped taking your antibiotic. When in doubt, you can always ask the pharmacist as well and they'll provide you with specifics.

Yes, they do interfere with it. A friend in college had an unwanted pregnancy because her Dr never told her it was a possibility. My pharmacist also warned me about Diflucan (oral medicine for yeast infections). I'm not sure what antibiotics can cause problems, but a pharmacist should be able to tell you.

Yes...if using antibiotics make sure you're using another form of birth control.
