Avatar f tn Hi, I am on birth control and have been for two years now. I recently took amoxicillin for a strep throat for a few days and have been using a condom, as I always do. It's been less than a week since I took the amoxicillin and tonight the condom broke. Should I take plan B? Thank you.
Avatar n tn I am on birth control pills (Yasmin) and I am supposed to stop taking them to have my period tomorrow (the 14th). Is the amoxicillin still affecting the birth control?Would it be safer to continue taking them over the next week and skip this period or to go along like normal? Or would you recommend an emergency pill just in case? I may be over reacting, but better safe than sorry. Thanks for your help!
Avatar f tn t take it that friday. and I AM on birth control and me and my boyfriend had sex that friday. is there anyway the antibiotic was still in my body and cancelled out my birth control for that Friday night? could I be pregnant?!
914353 tn?1262274264 and even though you might be done your antibiotics.....it messes up your birth control and it takes a few cycles for birth control to take effect and idk...i just wouldnt want to risk it i would use condoms and continue to take birth control...becuase i would think you still need to stat taking it awhile and it wouldnt have even been a month since you stopped taking your antibiotic.

Avatar n tn Hi I hope someone can help me I am taking Amoxicillin 250mg which is an anitbiotic and am also taking Loestrin 30 for birth control. I heard that the antibiotic effected the birth control so thought best to use a condom ... unfortunately it split and now I'm worried I could be pregnant.
Avatar m tn I researched online to see if Amoxicillin lessened the effectiveness of my Birth Control and it said it could. I had sex the Friday before my period was supposed to start. I still got my period but it was really light and shorter than usual. I stopped my "period" 5 days into my cycle. I started to lightly bleed and it stopped as well. I am having all the symptoms of pregnancy but I took a home pregnancy test and came back as negative. Was it too soon to take the test? Am I pregnant?
Avatar f tn No where on the Amoxicillin bottle did it warn about messing with birth control. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend within the first couple of days of taking Amoxicillin. Now my period is late and I am concerned that I may be pregnant. What are my chances?
Avatar f tn ve been anxiously searching about Birth Control and Amoxicillin, but have seen many responses and studies that show it has little to no effect, with the BC. She has been on Birth Control for over a year, and has switched a few times, and just recently about two weeks ago switched to Seasonale. We had protected sex on the last day she was taking her Amoxicillin. As said, as soon as I felt myself ejaculating I pulled out(was using a condom).
Avatar f tn I started taking amoxicillin and another antibiotic called capmist DM on Monday. I know amoxicillin makes birth control less affective. We did use a condom while having sex and it didn't break. He only came a couple drops and it was in the condom. But on Friday night, Saturday, and a little bit this morning I have been having pains similar to menstrual cramps. My cousin told me it's probably just soreness because it was the first time or air that got trapped up there.
Avatar f tn Hi. Thanks for replying. What birth control pill where you taking?
Avatar f tn I was prescribed medicine that my mother picked up, meaning I was not asked about birth control or anything else. I had just started taking Alesse for the first time and was only one pill in when I received the antibiotic (amoxicillin). I took it concurrently with the birth control for only two days, at 250mg a pill, three pills a day.
Avatar f tn I am very good about taking my birth control at 7 am every morning. On 1/17 I started taking my placebo for my birth control (which I only take 4 rather than all 7). So on 1/21 I started a new birth control pack and therefore started taking my active pills. On the night of 1/27 I had unprotected sex but he did not ejaculate inside me. Is there any chance I’m pregnant?
Avatar f tn antibiotics can make your birth control less effective. I got pregnant on birth control when they put me on amoxicillin and lost a twin because of it. You need to get into the dr.
Avatar f tn I heard that antibiotics interfere with birth control pills, but I’m on the birth control that gets implanted under my skin – will antibiotics interfere with that too? A: This is one of the biggest medical myths of all time; one that gets propagated in doctors’ offices, health clinics, hospitals, blogs, magazines, and student health centers every day. ...
Avatar f tn t know if it can affect ur periods but it can affect the effectiveness of your birth control. So if your on birth control, and you might have sex, just use a back-up form of protection.
Avatar n tn I am on regular birth control but I am also currently on amoxicillin. I know that antibiotics can affect how your birth control works. I went to the pharmacy on the 12 and picked up Next Choice. I took it how I was supposed to. Today, February 14, I woke up with major cramps and breast tenderness. I know these are common side effects but I am supposed to start my period on Wednesday.
Avatar n tn She recently had a ear/throat infection and was prescribed antibiotics(amoxicillin). She is on orthotricyclen birth control. Upon mixing the two, she began to bleed from her vagina. Four days after stopping the antibiotics, she continues to bleed and it concerns me. It is normal blood(like when cutting yourself) rather than discharge/menstraul blood. She has been taking ortho for roughly a year and started antibiotics close to two weeks ago. Her last menstraul cycle was just over two weeks ago.
Avatar m tn I'm not on birth control, and i didn't have sex!
Avatar f tn I take the mini pill birth control and did not do any emergency contraceptive afterwards because I’m on birth control ,and the concerns kicked in about the antibiotics possibly affecting the mini pill birth control. As you mentioned before about ovulation not happening right before your period and during it, that brought on a sense of relief! Again, thank you!
Avatar f tn In the beginning of this month, I was sick with bronchitis. My doctor put me on Amoxicillin and did not tell me that it would interfere with my birth control pills. Later, just around the time of ovulation, I had sex with my boyfriend and he did used a condom like always (i had just finished my amoxicillin the day before this). I missed my birth control pill this day but took it early the next morning.
Avatar f tn My first guess would be the ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin, whether independently or from the combination of them and your birth control. Prescription drugs typically affect sleep cycles and when you've got more than one going at once, you're at a higher risk for disruptive side effects. Another thing to keep in mind is the half-life of these drugs. They tend to take longer to leave your system than most expect after you've stopped ingesting them.
Avatar f tn On a Friday night my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside of me twice. I have been on birth control for about 5 months and this has never been an issue. That same weekend on Sunday I came down with strep throat and was put on Amoxicillin. I started taking them Sunday night. I know they effect your birth control so I'm wondering, is there any chance I could get pregnant? We haven't had sex since I've been on it.
Avatar m tn I went to pick up the medication and the pharmacy ask me was I on birth control pills, because if so I need to protect myself while on this medication to prevent pregnancy. I told that I have a IUD and she said she don't know to much about if I can get pregnant or no. I wanted to know should me and my husband use protect to prevent Pregnancy if know I have a IUD?
