Help! Could i be

Hi,
Im 21 years old and think i might be pregnant. I got my last period 10 days ago and had sex nearly every day since. I have been on the pill for 4 years and take it everyday. Last month however i was on antibiotics and didnt take extra precaution. Yesterday i noticed dirty looking blood when i wipe, its only light but it doesnt look like period blood. Last night i was up throwing up and had stomach cramps. It has gotten even light today and is more brown in colour.
I cant think of anything else and im completely stressing out.
Please help
Megan

sweety by what you said it is most likely that you are pregnant .. when your on the pill and take antibiotics it increases your fertility .. and the symptoms that you are having are very close to when u concieve .. the blood can be that your bleeding from conception as of the cramps .. im no one to tell you if you are preg or not but you should really take a test you just might have a baby on the way.

being on birth control and antibiotic does NOT increase your fertility. antibiotics just mess up birth control and basically make in ineffective..it does not increase your fertility or increase the chance of conception.


it does not sound like you are most likely pregnant

you were taking your birth control antibiotics last month..you got your period since then..if you were to have gotten pregnant from last month...you would not have gotten your period. and you have stil been taking your birth control pills and you were no longer on antibiotics.


you got your period...so if you got pregnant since the 10 days since your period...you would not be experiencing implantation bleeding because its way to soon..its not even the time around conception. you would experience it closer to your next period rather than your last period

you should use condoms in addition to your birth control. its not 100% and women get pregnant on the pill. i would say its not likely your pregnant but if you continue not using condoms and are having sex a lot...you might be pregnant soon

what i ment by that is that antibiotics mess with the efficacy of some birth control pills, depending on the antibiotic, antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills in women. sorry i used the wrong wording but still take a test soon just to be sure.

It sounds like you could be pregnant. Mixing birth control and antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills, like Eve said. Just wait maybe about 1-3 weeks and take a home pregnancy test.

im 21 also iand already have a daughter and to me it sound like you might be cloyying or not drinking enough water thats why your blood can be like that..i recently had an abortion and wemon there had got pregnant on the i.u.d  as well as using birth control..you should switch your birthcontol ever so often cause you body can become prone to it..good luck
