antibiotics

Hi.
I was on biaxin & amoxil for ten days. I started the antibiotics Oct. 16 & completed them Nov. 2. I took my birth control everyday. I had unprotected sex Oct. 17 & Nov. 3. I took my last white pill this week Tue. Nov. My cycle dIdnt  really come on. I spotted this Friday it was like mucus with a touch of pinkish color then later that night it was darkish brown color with mucus and as of today I still don't have a flowing cycle. I suppose to start mymy bcp tomorrow but Im not sure if I should because there may be a possibility ty I may be pregnant took a pregnancy test this morning & it was negative. Is it too early for a pregnancy test to determine if I'm pregnant? Should I start taking my bcp tomorrow?

It's too early if you got pregnant on the 3rd.  I'd start taking your next pack but ask your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as soon as possible so you can stop the birth control if it does end up you are pregnant.  Blood tests are much more sensitive than the urine tests.

Note for the future to avoid scares: don't have unprotected sex for up to a month after ending certain antibiotics.  (Your doctor can tell you specifics if the one you had does affect things and for how long.)  Certain antibiotics are known to decrease the efficacy of birth control.
