Antibiotics+ Birth control= Baby???

Yea this is my second post of the night if anyone has noticed. Question. Does antibiotics in gonorrhea treatment render the Depo Provera shot inaffective???

Ive heard that it affects pills but not the shot because it is already in your bloodstream. Is this true because im freaking out aboput getting pregnant!

actually from what I've been able to find out, antibiotics do not interfere with depo.

Im not 100 percent sure about the injectitons but I would assume that it can effect your birth control like it does all of the others.  Antibiotics have a half life that can temporarily effect birth control, but not permanetly.  Ask your doctor for more advise, he/she will be able to tell you immediately.
