Worried about being pregnant

by Westie480, Apr 08, 2007 12:00AM

Tags: Pregnancy, Women's, Health, Women's Health, amoxicillin, antibiotics, contraceptive, Depression, fatigue, nausea, test, Birth Control

I had unprotected sex about 2 weeks ago (twice), am in the last week of taking the contraceptive pill and have been taking antibiotics (500mg amoxicillin) for the last 3 weeks, but finished the pack about a week ago. Could there be a possiblilty that I am pregnant? I have had loads of symptoms of feeling pregnant, (nausea, fatigue, depression) but that could just be that I am thinking too much about it, although I haven't felt like this since I was pregnant last. Any help?

I can tell you that OBGYN's tell thier patients to use a a back up birth control when on the pill and taking antibiotics. Antibiotics make the pill ineffective for the month cycle.

As for being pregnant only time and hpt test will tell. Good Luck!
