It is possible. Especially with Amoxicillin, Penicillin, Doxycycline, Minocycline, Tetracycline, or Rifampin.
I'm facing this possiblity too because I just ended a month on Doxycycline and didn't know it could counteract b/c pills. Good luck!

Some antibiotics lower the effectiveness of the pill, so yes, it is very possible to get pregnant while on the pill and taking antibiotics.

Very much, as you are aware I am sure, the pill's effectiveness is REDUCED by antibiotics. Use a backup like condoms/foam, etc.

Antibiotics do knock out the effectiveness of BCP's, so you should use other precautions. Your doctor should have advised you on this.

Yes! I have a beautiful two-year-old son who is proof positive of that! I got pregnant while I was taking Amoxicillin.

VERY POSSIBLE.I would go the docs to get a blood test done, use a different kind of protection.
