Birth control and antibiotics

Ashley

Has anyone ever got pregnant while taking antibiotics? I have heard this can happen sometimes. I’m on the patch and currently taking sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim I was told by my doctor that this medication can make my birth control not as effective. Has anyone taken this antibiotic before and got pregnant?
