I personally would use back up until my next period for peace of mind but wouldn't worry too much until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269587 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:44:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2269587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It should only be possible if you already ovulated while on BC. As long as you haven't had sex in the past couple of days, you should be ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269487 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:38:12 +0000 Chillybear 2269487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @Mamasig: We'll definitely be using back up the rest of the month. </p> <p>@ms.line: That's encouraging to hear</p> <p>Not that a pregnancy would be a bad thing..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269479 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:33:45 +0000 ms.line 2269479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Newer research isn't showing a link between most antibiotics and decreased effectiveness of the pill - you're probably fine.</p> <p><a href="http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/answered-questions/antibiotics-and-birth-control-pill" rel="nofollow">http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/answered-questions/antibiotics-and-birth-control-pill</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269478 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:33:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2269478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: Its possible but if you haven't ovulated yet, it would be less likely. I would use back up for sure since the meds are still in your system </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269476 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:31:20 +0000 Mamasig 2269476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - I'd be worried. Though I've taken antibiotics on birth control and never got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269475 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:30:50 +0000 Chillybear 2269475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>based on CD14 ovulation i would ovulate lets say tomorrow right? or does that not matter when you're on BC and antibiotics? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269472 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:28:31 +0000 avivoca 2269472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend got pregnant that way. I'd say it's definitely possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-worried-1#post-2269470 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:27:00 +0000 Chillybear 2269470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had always heard that antibiotics can mess with your BC pills and I was on a ten day course of Augmentin for a sinus infection earlier this month. CD 1 was 8/9 i started taking my next pack of pills on 8/13 then I took my pill about 18 hours late on 8/16. Last dose of the antibiotics was on 8/17. We definitely haven't used a back up method, would a pregnancy even be possible? </p>
