Pregnancy Info HOME

Usually antibiotics will reduce the effectiveness of the pill, I am not familiar with the brand you are taking so I would check this with your doctor but it seems that there is a chance that you can be pregnant. Also, when you are given antibiotics you really need to take them exactly as they are prescribed and finish the full rx regardless of how you are feeling. What I don't understand is why is your doctor advising you start your new pack of pills without the 1 week break for a period? I really think you need to give your doctor a call. If you are in fact pregnant, continuing to take the pill can be dangerous. If you want to test, I would test 2 weeks after s_x. Good luck.

Thank You for the reply.... The only reason my doctor said this time to miss my 7 day break because last month my period was 5 days early. the situation is that my last pill on a pack is a wednesday and i dont normally come on till the sunday night but last month i came on the last day of my pill taking so this month she said skip the break so that the antibioticks dont bugger the pattern up this time and then after my next ack of pills my period shoul be ok again, x

ok first of all, this is why diseases come about that can't be treated. it goes the same for the virus as it does for us. if you give a human a weakened form of a virus, the body will make an immunity to it. well if you give a virus a weakened treatment it will change to become immune to the medicine being administered. these guys with the fancy "MD" after their names are doctors for a reason. not for someone who doesn't know anything medical to second guess their treatment. good grief. if you can't follow a "take 3 pills a day" order, you shouldn't be having s_x. and it only takes a little of the antibiotics to render the pill useless. clindholm: i think the doc wants her to skip the 7 day inactives because being on the antibiotics is pretty much like being on inactives that whole time and the 7 days from her pill would just be like adding another week onto the time her pill's been useless.

If her doctor is trying to treat a *virus* with antibiotics he didn't earn his "fancy MD" t_tle. Bacterial infections are treated with antibotics. Viral infections are treated with antiviral medications (which are rare and have limited effectiveness, so are usually only prescribed in life-or-death situations like AIDS or viral meningitis)
