pregnant?

My boyfriend and I have recently had sex... I am on birth control and only missed one day. But towards the end of the pack I was put on amoxicillin (which I heard can effect birth control)...I am a couple day late is there any way I could be pregnant?

yes, it is possible to be pregnant. Antibiotics counteract birth control and essentially cancel its effectiveness, leaving you unprotected. Since you are late, take a pregnancy test.
