Antibiotics and BC Pills

[Mumbler]

I was taking a penicillin based antibiotic this past week, took my last dose on Friday. I've also been regularly taking my birth control pills (Yasmin). Saturday night I had unprotected sex and now I'm a bit worried that I might be risking a pregnancy due to the effects of antibiotics on birth controls. Has anyone had experiences like this? Any advice would be much appreciated! :)

They recommend you use a back up method for a week after the antibiotic i believe.
Antibiotics make the pill ineffective.

Sadly that is not good news for you.
