Answer 7

High enough that you should use condoms if you don't want to get pregnant. You should be able to look up information on the antibiotics you were on to see if they can affect birthcontrol pills. I've taken antibiotics that said on the information that came with them that they wouldn't make the pills not work and others that said they would. But it's better to be safe.

Answer 8

yes it is very likely to get pregnant because antibiotics break down the bc so you should take a test if you are stop taking bc or it could harm fetus

Answer 9

It depends on the meds you were on. You can always look up the meds. you were on and see what there web site has to say. If you can't find the info there call you pharmacy or doctor. It has and can happen, you can also wait and take a home test after you are late.

Good luck to you. I hope it works out for you.

Answer 10

They are very good, the use of anitbiotics negates birthcontrol.

Answer 11

It depends if you were ovulating and if you had sex.
You should just follow the directions on the birth control and use a back-up contraceptive the whole time you are on antibiotics and for the week after.
