Amoxicillin and Birth Control?

Amoxicillin and Birth Control?

I started taking amoxicillin on Friday the 3rd. I stopped it a week later on the 10th. I had sex with my boyfriend on Monday the 13th and the condom broke, but he didn't ejaculate into me.  I am on birth control pills (Yasmin) and I am supposed to stop taking them to have my period tomorrow (the 14th). Is the amoxicillin still affecting the birth control?Would it be safer to continue taking them over the next week and skip this period or to go along like normal? Or would you recommend an emergency pill just in case? I may be over reacting, but better safe than sorry. Thanks for your help!

antibiotics like counter birth control. so it renders it ineffective.

just because he didnt ejacluate inside of you....does not mean you can not get pregnant.

continue taking your birth control. dont have sex til your off your birth control and then USE CONDOMS. birth controls not 100%

By continue taking my birth control, do you mean to skip my period this month and continue taking it without a break or to stop it (take the sugarpills) as PLANNED today and continue after the 7 days?

i dont kno how your pills work all the birth control i had ever been on it was i was taking pills on and off my periods.

continue taking your pills as you had been taking. you did not mention stopping them or anything so you should be up to date on your pills. there would be no reason for you to stop or mess them up now.

yes you can get pregnant from precum but its not super high and i think its like only a 20 or 25 percent chance of getting pregnant. you can take ecp if you want but thats the same thing as you oding on hormones and that in attition to your birth control is gonna mess up your body.

take your pills as you had been taking.
