Antibiotics and the contraceptive pill
I've just been prescribed one of the antibiotics that is known to affect how well the contraceptive pill works. That's no problem as i can use a condom for the next few weeks but something's worrying me- i know sperm can live for 5-7 days inside a woman and i had sex whilst on the pill without a condom two days ago. Therefore if i start taking my antibiotics now is it a possibility that i might get pregnant as the pill won't be able to do anything about the sperm that's inside me at the moment??? I can't find out the answer to this anywhere on the internet!! Thanks guys and please only answer if you have experience with this!!

If i can remember correctly i became pregnant with my second child while on the pill because i had antibiotics. So whoever says antibiotics kills sperm well i am living proof that it is'nt always the case. So use the condom and dont worry about the sperm in your body.

it's unlikely that you could be still pregnant cause antibiotics kills spearm

Using condoms while taking antibiotics is a great idea.
The chance of getting pregnant while using antibiotics is very small, but still a possibility, so you have to be told about it. I wouldn't worry about sperm already in your body being affected, you will do fine. :)
