antibiotics and birth control pill
Hi, I have a few questions. My girlfriend and I had sex about two weeks ago for about three or four minutes, without a condom. I never climaxed or ejaculated before we stopped. It was our first time having sex that day and I had urinated atleast 5 or 6 times that day before intercourse. She is on the pill but has been on strong antibiotics 500mg (amoxicillin) for about 2 weeks. How safe do you think we are in regards to pregnancy? Thanks, Mike
hey mikey -- look, there is ALWAYS a chance that someone can get pregnant - there are many here that either have, or know someone who got pregnant while on the pill, while using a condom, or by using any other form of BC...
It's going to be a waiting game for you. Wait until her period to see - if she gets it, then i guess you're lucky, and be smart next time, you will save yourself a lot of anguish. No one here can tell you for sure, it's up to nature. There are alot of circumstances to consider that we won't know - ie, how fertile she is, you are, timing, was she ovulating, etc etc etc etc....
so you have to be the one to figure out your chances based on both of your personal circumstances. YES, antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of the pill... the fact that you didnt c*m inside, helps, BUT (the dreaded but) you just never know!
Just wait & see - then let us all know.

so being on the pill still as opposed to not being on the pill still keeps it at 50/50? And not climaxing or ejaculating still keeps it at at 50/50 as opposed to ejaculating inside of her?? This doesnt seem right? The pill, as well as no ejaculation must carry some weight in the situation....
no one can tell you for sure if your chances are good or bad it all depends on the ferility of both of you. It's 50/50
I understand that pregnancy is always a possibility. Any time you have sex, you take that risk. I just want to know the chances. Are they good or bad, etc. Thanks for your post though.
pregnancy is always a possiblity, especially because antibiotics lessen the effectiveness of bc and even though you didn't *** in her there is always the possibility of pre-*** containing sperm.
If she doesn't get her period on time she should definately take a pregnancy test.
