I am taking Loestrin, however I was hospitalized with a staph infection and was given vancomycin, clendomycin and cipromycin. Then I was sent home taking bactrum for 2 weeks. Two weeks after stopping the antibiotics, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend while I was on my period.

Now...a week and a half later, I'm exhibiting signs of pregnancy. Sore breasts, fatigue, light brown spotting (only when I wipe after urination). I also have discharge and my urine has a slight "off" oder. As well as twinges in my lower abdomen.

Does this sound like pregnancy? I've taken several hpc's...all negative (knock on wood!!)

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thank you!

First of all.. I'm sure you know that antibiotics weaken the effectiveness of your birth control. with that said. i'm gonna take a stab and say your probably not pregnant. antibiotics also cause yeast infections.. they can mess up your periods due to the conflict with b.c. see a dr. thats the best advice i can give you. good luck!

Your sudden infection is just what happened to me! I had unprotected sex during my period - rarely, RARELY don't use a condom - and 3 days later had the sudden onset of intense pain, blood, etc. I drank a lot of water, took garlic, and drank Cranberry juice (sure it was at least partly urinary). It went away for a day, then hit back just as suddenly a day later. That time I headed over to the doctor. Kidney infection. Testing later showed e.coli was the culprit. In fact, I found your original post looking for confirmation that the intense fatigue I've had the last couple days is from the ABX they've had me on.

Good luck. ZH

I was so relieved to read this as I was on antibiotics for tonsilitis about 4-5 weeks ago. 2 weeks later I have unprotected sex (with no condom) with my boyfriend, I was on my period just the week before. Ever sicne I have been suffering from major discharge leakage, so much so I have had myself convinced I could be pregnant. The discharge is predominantly clear but sometimes dries yellow. No major smell but I have a doctors appointment tonight at 330., I am scared I have to admit as I knwo I am not ready for a child as I want my career and I am travelling for 6 nd a half weeks in summer.

Thank you though as this message has relieved some of the panicking.
