Unwanted pregnancy
by chilka20, Oct 30, 2008 06:13AM
I got my period last month. I went for a holiday and developed a vaginal infection, came back and took prescribed pills and creams to get rid of the infection and used my contraceptive pills alongwith it. I am about 10 days late for my period and did a home pregnancy and found out i was pregnant. I just got my period last month (17th Sept) and have been extremely regular in my pills, i havent had intercourse for the past 3 weeks?(i.e since my infection) . Could this be wrong? I need help asap before i go crazy...please help.....

Well, even if you took your b/c pill correctly, if you had to take antibiotics for your infection, they will cause your b/c pill to be ineffective during that time. You should always use a back-up method if you are taking antibiotics while taking the pill and shame on your doc for not telling you that. But I'm sure that that is what happened.
