antibiotics

Avatar f tn t go away within a few days then I would consider the possibility of an allergy to the antibiotics. You should bring it up to you PCP.
Avatar n tn There is always a chance of pregnancy when you have unprotected sex. If you miss your period take a test to be sure. But don't stress yourself out about it because stress can delay your period, and the infection might delay it also.
Avatar m tn that is not always true. You can miss peroids and not be pregnant and have periods if you are. If you think you may be pregnant call your dr. There are time when women are on the pill miss a day or two or are on antibiotics and get pregnant during that time but when your at the end of the pack you will still have a period because of how the hormones work from the pill. Like I said if you think you are call your dr. All women are different.
Avatar f tn If your 5 days late and you are pregnant a test would be positive if done correctly. Take another one first thing in the morning tomorrow. I'm not sure if antibiotics would affect your period, but some medications can change your cycle.
807454 tn?1244477206 if you are really concerned feel free to buy a home pregnancy test and test. you can test whenever because you are already at your next expected period. (which you did have cause even a little bit of blood for a few days is your period) but if you are cheap (like me) you can just wait another month and see how that one goes. do whatever makes you comfortable. hope you're back to normal in no time.
Avatar f tn It could be that you are not ovulating and therefore not having a period. I am not sure if you are trying to conceive, but if you are, then it is important to try and regulate your cycle and to evaulate whether or not you are ovulating. If your ob/gyn is not helpful or responsive, then you need to seek out a second opinion. Good luck.
Avatar m tn ugh hard to say id say probly not...chances r very low but always a possiblty! i got prego on my period i believe...
242516 tn?1368223905 The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
Avatar n tn We cant tell you if your pregnant or not,you will have to take a test,you may have ovulated later,if so your period will be late.you could take a test first thing in the morning.
Avatar n tn it's okay to be up to 45 days late with your period but if you just want to make sure, I would take a pregnancy just to be sure.
Avatar f tn There are a lot of reasons you might miss a period. Personally, I suddenly developed secondary amenorrhea and had a 227 day cycle, but missing one period isn't necessarily that bad. Usually you should visit the doctor if you miss 3 periods when you have been regular or 6 periods when you have been irregular in the past.
Avatar f tn It usually says in the box how many days before expected period you can take the test. The accuracy is lower the earlier you take it. It's best to just wait until you miss your period.
Avatar f tn sickness is a stress to the body and can cause as i stated above, your period to be late or come early. hope you get to feeling better!!
Avatar f tn I have to say I do not miss being pregnant at all! Good luck to all of you ladies on the rest of your pregnancies and I hope you have easy labor and quick deliveries!
724730 tn?1280164904 Do a pregnancy test if you haven't so far - that way you'd know. As you are almost a week late you're more likely to get an accurate result than if you tried to test before your period. The spotting could've been implantation bleeding. A vacation where you relax is unlikely to delay or make you miss a period. Anxiety and stress might.
Avatar f tn SO i was just wondering if this could be my period, or if it might be because i am pregnant? or what would cause this to happen? cause i would like to know. I am bleeding quite a bit for even it being a period. Thanks alot.
Avatar f tn Well, if you are sexually active, the first thing that you should do is to take a pregnancy test to establish whether you are pregnant or not. Since you have already missed a period, you can take the test whenever you are ready (you can buy a home pregnancy test in any grocery or drug store). If the test is positive, then the reason you have missed your period is because you are pregnant.
Avatar f tn I glad to hear that you were smart enough to avoid sexual activity during this time ... since, as you said, antibiotics can affect the efficacy of birth control. Good for you! Just be patient and don't worry, your body will get back to normal before you know it! Take care ...
Avatar f tn yeah it happened to me and it was an accident but i had a misscarrige
5789444 tn?1374298613 Yes, your birth control pills could be the problem. You may need to try a different brand but only your Dr can tell you if this is the problem and only he/she can prescribe different pills. Don't be scared, make that appointment.
Avatar n tn if you are more than a week latr take a test.
Avatar f tn d contact your OB or doctor to have a blood test drawn so you can know whether or not you are pregnant or if something else is causing you to not have a period. Good luck!
Avatar f tn aroun dthe world they are spraying us, you will see the chem trails in the sky, in California we are being bombarded, they have taken soil and ground water to test ,the list of chemicals being sprayed is astounding.and many have these symptome, if you want to know more a member called ginger899 has a journal up with links .
Avatar f tn IF you are trying to conceive, you want to make sure that you are actually ovulating. Your doctor can do blood work to check and see if you are. Good luck.
