I recently had 2 courses of anti biotics whilst on the pilll, one the week before my break and then the second during my break. i wasnt taking them for 3 days before i started taking my pill again. i had been taking the pill 3 days before having unprotected sex and then forgot to take the pill for 3 days due to chaos of moving house.
whats the chances of getting pregnant as im aware that anti biotics can make the pill ineffective or less effective?
any help would be very much appreciated
Thanks

First things, what pill are you on, and which antibiotics did you take? Secondly, the pure fact that you missed 3 pills so early in your pack is very dangerous. The pill works by stopping ovulation, by convincing your body it's already pregnant, basically. You can skip up to 10 pills before your body starts to notice something is wrong, at which point you may ovulate. Because you can skip up to 10, you are still protected on the 7 days when you have the sugar pills. However, skipping 3 more so close to that time could have some consequences. Combined with the possibility that your pill was rendered ineffective by antibiotics, there could be a good chance that you could have gotten pregnant. I can't say whether the antibiotics played any role without knowing the pill your on and the antibiotics taken. If you could provide that info, I could give you a much better answer. I suggest waiting until your next withdrawal period is supposed to arrive and take a pregnancy test just to make sure you are not pregnant before starting your next pack. It would be silly and pointless to test now because it is far too early to tell. Good luck!
