yeast & bacterial infection..
18-female.
So I just got back from the doctor and found out I have a yeast and bacterial infection - my first one. I have to take two different pills for both of them .. only for a week and the doctor said that these pills will interfere with my birth control so if i did decide to become sexually active to also use a condom. Well after leaving I was thinking .. IF I were to become sexually active AFTER i'm done with these pills to get rid of the infections, it won't interfere with my birth control right? It will only interfere when I am taking the meds? I know you guys aren't doctors or anything but an opinion would be good .. or if any of you girls have had this problem if you could helps also. thanks!:)

Dear Y & b infection,
Think about this, how long have you been in your sexual relationship with this person? Are you engaged? Living together? Talking about marriage? My point is this, so many people, including myself, THINK their relationship will last forever, only to look back and wish they'd never had unprotected sex with this person. Then think about if you ever break up with this person. How many more people are you willing to have unprotected sex with just because you love them?
My answer to you is - even if you are on the pill, use a condom with your partner EVERY TIME - unless you have some solid plans and money invested in your future together. See a man will usually stay around if he's invested financially in some way. This still doesn't guarantee his monogamy, but at least you may have a more long-lasting relationship, which you can both work through issues together.
Remember, if your partner is your age and enjoying the newness of sex (a couple years and less) what's to keep him from enjoying unprotected sex with the next person? I mean why would he not? Believe when I say, don't trust anyone with YOUR health.
Other than that, use the condom 14 days - the seven days of taking the med and the seven days after.
Take care of you,
Deeply Setting

I don't know this for an absolute fact, but you will be better off using condoms the entire month you are taking your antibiotics.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
