Avatar f tn So me and my fiancé has unprotected sex 2-3days ago, I am on birth Control. Well I went to the doctors for get Antibiotics called Macrobid for my UTI. I am to get pregnant? Be that the Antibiotics make the pill unefftive the doctor said it won’t but I don’t know ...I’m scared I am not ready for a baby. Will I be fine?
Avatar f tn Macrobid does not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills. You continue to take your birth control through your whole cycle there shouldn't be a concern.
Avatar f tn I am 1.5 weeks into yaz birth control pills. Due to being on antibiotics (macrobid) I have had diarrhea about three times in the last 1.5 weeks. Am I any less protected?
Avatar m tn I am eighteen years old, and although the doctor wasn't thrilled about giving me mirena she did it. For the most part they just don't want to give it to young people because we may not all be in monogomous relationships (or at least that was what was explained to me). It was painful for the first week and I bled for probably a month after I got it, but trust me if you can make it past that it is great! I haven't had my period since then!
Avatar f tn Does the antibiotic macrobid used to treat uti's decrease the effectiveness of birth control? Because I'm on the pill and I shouldn't get my period for another week and I've been bleeding.. This makes me nervous because while taking macrobid I had sex without a condom, he pulled out, but I know that's not always a safe alternative either. I know that during early pregnancy bleeding isn't uncommon. I'm scared out of my mind..
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 n tn I also feel unprotected without a condom. And for me birth control pills is not an option. I know that there are lot's of them with a very high quality, I read it here: http://motherhow.com/types-of-birth-control-pills/ But still...
Avatar n tn Birth control pills are generally safe and considered a good option for many women to prevent pregnancy. There are different types and working with your doctor to find the best one is the thing to do. This is between you and your doctor but it is untrue that taking birth control pills 'has side effects on your whole reproductive system" unless you consider it doing what it is supposed to while taking it, preventing pregnancy.
Avatar f tn suggested I go back on BC pills (which I have been off for about 4 years now) to see if it will help with symptoms. I started BC pills and took 1 month....I feel AWFUL. Horrible heartburn and nausea every single day. Heartburn so bad that when I lay down sometimes I feel like I'm going to throw up. I persevered and thought I would see if it worked itself out. After my 21 day pack was gone and I was on my week off.....all heartburn and nausea stopped.
Avatar f tn ) I have done tons of research over the past 25 years and I can tell you birth control pills are NOT the way to go. Ultimately the choice is yours and hers, and any thing I say is just advice of course.
Avatar f tn Hello, Since you had unprotected intercourse but you are having birth control pills so chances of pregnancy are less. If you are apprehensive regarding the status of pregnancy then the status of pregnancy needs to be made clear. To confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test.

So I started taking each day but now i got my period on the Thursday 1(September). I don't know if I should continue taking the pills? And can I have unprotected sex? Do I have risks of getting pregnant?
Avatar f tn part of the pill, but my periods are really heavy and my cramps are awful!! Does a birth control pill stop the bleeding completely, or just extend the amount of times between periods? Also, I have read online that there are estrogen or progestin-based pills...is there one that will work better mainly for the purpose of decreasing my flow or stopping my period all together?
