Antibiotics and birth control?

Question

I've been on Amoxi-clav for 7 days, and am on ocella birth control. I had unprotected sex yesterday, and my period was supposed to start today but didn't. How at risk am I for becoming pregnant? Can sex delay a regular period? Please don't be mean or rude, I just need answers. Thanks 💕

Answer

I took that same medicine and birth control.. I didn't end up pregnant so I feel that there is no interaction. I'm not doctor though. just telling you my experience

Answer

Antibiotics can cancel out birth control, which is something the pharmacist and doctor would tell you, if not there is usually a note on the bottle. I would take a test to be sure.

Answer

I'm not sure what the chance is but if you didn't ask your doc/do research on this antibiotic it could have made your BC ineffective. You can still try and contact your doctor or ask the pharmacist about the interaction; then maybe you'll have time for a plan b if necessary.
