Should I start shopping for maternity clothes - antibiotics and birth control
by Ophelia23, Nov 28, 2008 08:51PM
So, I was prescribed the antibiotic Levaquin for a sinus infection, and started taking it on a Friday - let's call this Day 1. On Day 5, I started taking Ortho Tricyclen Lo, a brith control pill.
On Day 7, the antibiotic pill ended. On Day 11 (the 7th day of taking my birth control pill), my boyfriend and I had sex. We used a condom, but we realized we had put it on upside down and had to flip it over before getting busy.
My question is: could I get pregnant from this? I was told by my doctor that the antibiotic had no effect on the birth control pill, but my pharmacist told me the opposite. I started the Ortho Tricyclen Lo on the 7th day after my period, and I had sex the 13th of it, but my ovulation is so messed up from being at college that I have no idea if I was fertile.

I'm not sure what you mean about the condom being upside down??? Do you mean inside out? If so, I don't think that it would matter and would be just as effective......Antibiotics DO affect birth control pills.....they ALWAYS tell you to use a back up method. However, I would not stress over a pregnancy as of yet.....All you can really do is test if your period doesn't arrive on time.
