Antibiotics and Missed periods?
I am 24 yr old with a very inactive sexual life. I had taken antibiotics (Cefspan) and Transamin (Tranexamic acid) thrice a day for 6 days for my ear bleeding as prescribed by the doctor. I had unprotected sex (used withdrawal method only) only on the 15th and 16th day of my 30-40 days cycle which was also my 5th day of antibiotics. I have normal blood flow during periods but the date is usually irregular. Now i still don't have my period. I only have tender breasts (which I get before periods too) and no other pregnancy symptoms. I don't notice any frequent discharge but after long intervals i do notice a very little amount of thick light greenish opaque discharge. Can antibiotics delay periods? I have heard Tranexamic acid is given for heavy periods while mine have always been normal so is that what delayed it? What are the chances that I could be pregnant?
Sounds like you have a vaginal infection. The greenish tint to your discharge is a sign that you need to be checked out by your doctor. a green tint (or bad smell, for future reference) is a sign that it is more than just a yeast infection. Also, antibiotics kill bacteria that keeps the low levels of yeast naturally found in your body from getting out of control. this makes it easier to get yeast infections (like the one on your leg). I'm really not sure about your missed period sweetie, but a trip to the doc will fix the first two problems!
Good Luck!
