Pregnant? Part 2


Question Posted Wednesday August 13 2008, 6:48 pm

Okay, so any of you that havent read about my pregnancy scare, here goes.

I used a contraceptive film, and allowed my boyfriend to get off in me...saturday

Iv been on Birth Control for 2 years.
& Sunday night I took my pill to start my period.
But I'm also having to take antibiotics for Staph infection =/.

My mother says, antibiotics kills your birth control.

So. Sunday night I took my pill to start my period. I didn't expect to be on my period by morning monday, or even after noon because thats always how my cycle works.

So when I wake up TUESDAY morning, no blood.
I come home from school tuesday, and there are a few spots. So I change my tampon.

Then later that night, I change it again, a few more spots, but more.

Then this morning I wake up, and I'm bleeding regularly.

So.. do you think I'm Pregnant?

Certain antibiotics can interact with birth control pills, making the birth control pills less effective and pregnancy more likely. Spotting - or ‘mid-cycle’ bleeding - may be the first sign that an antibiotic is interfering with the effectiveness of your birth control pills. Since you still got your period with in the week it was due, i wouldn't be too scared. It could be stress, or it may possibly be because the antibiotics made you irregular because it is interfering with your BC. But you still used your contraceptive film so if used properly it should be effective.
Are there any Planned parenthoods near you? You should get the Emergency contraceptive pills if you're afraid. If you don't have one by you they do sell them at walmart but they can be pricey, but a lot cheaper than any child would be.

Good luck!
Hope this helps!

When in doubt, get tested.
Twice, even.

That's a much better way to get an answer on "Am I Pregnant?" than asking people who don't know you on the internets.
