Hello there!
I am taking the antibiotic called Zithromax and had been taking it for a full week when I had sex
with my husband. I am also currently on Tri-Levelen, but I have heard that antibiotics take away the efficacy of the birth
control pill. Is it very likely that I could be pregnant? It's only been a week and a half since. Is it too soon to
take a pregnancy test, either urine or blood?
I am a little worried about this. Please write back!
(and does it depend on the antibiotic or do all of them affect birth control
the same way?)
thanks for your help!
