I had tonsillitis at the beginning of last month and the doctor gave me a 5 day course of penicillin and assured me several times it would not interfere with my pill. I took my last pill on thursday and have still not come on. But i have had a bit of an upset tummy and cramps since last wednesday. Could my upset tummy be interfereing with my monthly or should i be more concerned! any advice?? .. and yes i have been having plenty of rumpy pumpy!lol

Penicillin, is an antibiotic to treat the infection in your tonsils.
BC pill, is a hormone pill which regulates your menstrual cycle. One doesn't have anything to do with the other, unless you've skipped some of your pills, I wouldn't worry.
All of the recent studies that have looked at antibiotics interfering with PC pills, have shown that antibiotics do not increase the pregnancy rate at all and they point out that the old data was not reliable enough to draw conclusions about pregnancy rates on any of the antibiotics.

I don't understand why your doctor told you that it was not going to affect your pills because in the past when I have had to take penicillin, the pharmacist warned me that my pills will not be as effective and I would need to use a back-up birth control method. The penicillin should not affect your period though, just the effectiveness of your birth control pills.
