I'm over a week late for my period and have had protected sex during this last month. I have had two doses of tonsilitis during this month which have been treated with painkillers (ibuprofen) and penicillin antibiotics. I was just ondering if this could be why i am so late. PLEASE HELP!!

Did you mean you used a back up method of birth control besides the pill? I don't know if antibiotics can make you late but they certainly can make the pill ineffective if that is what you are relying on.

Diflucan isn't an antibiotic. Where you prescribed an antibiotic before you got the yeast infection which is why you were prescribed diflucan? If you're on birth control and you take antibiotics your birth control becomes less effective, which is why if you had unprotected sex you may want to take a pregnancy test. If thats not the case don't stress it too much, either of the meds won't delay your period and im sure it will come soon!

I don't know about making your period late, but antibiotics DO have an effect on birth control pills, if you take them. You might want to take a test just in case.

Being sick can make your period late. Or if you were taking birth control pills, the antibiotics could have made them ineffective and you could be pregnant now.

Antibiotics can interfere with birth control pills. If you take the pill and you are late you should take a pregnancy test. If it is negative try not to stress about it, that can make you late too.

If you were on birth control and you haven't used a condom in the past month, there is a chance you could be pregnant. The first thing you need to do is go get a pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant.

I doubt it but I do know that anti-bios make birth contol uneffective. So if you are taking the pill or something then you had better take a test or go to the doctor to find out why you are so late. I really wouldnt hesitate!

Antibiotics can make birth control ineffective. Unless you were using condoms you need to make sure you are not pregnant.

Antibiotics won't make your period late, but can cause birth control to be ineffective.

Antibiotics can interfere with the effectiveness of oral birth control.
