Have you used antibiotics to get pregnant?

Question

My best friend just called me and told me that two of her friends got pregnant by using antibiotics. I had never heard of this before, so thought I'd post on here. Have you or someone else that you know gotten pregnant by intentionally or not intentionally using antibiotics?

Answer

Antibiotics interfere with oral birth control pills. Other than that, they don't "help" you get pregnant.

Answer

Antibiotics add to antibacterial resistance ... I would not recommend doing that AT ALL unless you need the antibiotics.

Answer

I'd say it's more likely to be a coincidence

Answer

Lol sounds like your friends need to be a little more clear. When you are on birth control, some antibiotics make them non effective. You have to use a 2nd form of protection for that cycle.

Answer

Maybe if you're friends were on the pill, many antibiotics void the efficacy of birth control pills. Other than that I've never heard of using antibiotics to actually conceive.

Answer

Antibiotics should only be used when medically necessary to treat infection. There is NO evidence that they help with conception - unless they're clearing an infection that was previously preventing pregnancy.

Answer

This is new to me! What were they taking antibiotics for? Or which type? Everyone is different so I wouldn't doubt it. I think it depends on the type they were taking, I knw antibiotics help certain illnesses so maby thats why. Still very interesting!
