in the beginning of the month when i started a new cycle and a new pack of birth control pills i had to take antibiotics. I know that the antibiotics cancel the effect of the birth control. I only took the antibiotics for not even a week and then at the end of the month my hudsband had a good time and used no condom. Is there a risk of being pregnant?

My doctor always told me that i should be careful for at least a month due to taking antibiotics.
I think your chances are slim due to the time frame but you never know.. i guess you will have to wait

Antibiotics DO NOT CANCEL the effect of birth control. I am not sure where people are getting this idea but that is not true. What it does is lower their effectiveness so you are at greater risk of having the pill fail. It is still effective just not as effective as it should be. There is a slim chance you could have gotten pregnant but you will have to wait and see.

i'm no longer a hundred% confident, yet i do no longer think of it particularly is risky. I even have taken antibiotics together as on the patch and it particularly is not any longer risky. additionally in the adventure that your surgeon grow to be the only that perscriben the antibiotic it may be ok. do exactly no longer take the different drugs together as on the yeast an infection (to boot the antibiotic and delivery administration)

ok so you stopped taking the antibiotics and then took the birthcontroll for how long? like 3 weeks? If it was 2 or more weeks i am pretty sure the birthcontroll would be working again. Your best bet is to call the advise nurse and ask just to be positive.

Yes, when taking BC pills and antibiotics there is an increased risk of pregnancy.

Even with contraceptives there is a risk of getting pregnant.
I think the pills should be at its full effect though.

antibotics do lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills but there's little change that this one time would cause you to get pregnant. it is possible but i think you should be good it shouldn't affect anything.
