I ended a course of antibiotics on the 2nd April it was a 5 day course for a uti I can't remember entirely but may have been trimethoprim I was on. I completely spaced and on fri 8th and as I normally never use a condom with my partner I just didn't think and we had sex without one late on the Friday night/ early Saturday morning. I am on the microgynon pill but I've heard you're supposed to use extra precautions for a week after and the sex I had was 5/6 days after my antibiotics ended. I take my pill every day without fail, have been on it for 5 years and am only ever late taking it by an hour at the most when I do take it late. I was due on my period around this Tuesday 12th April and I have bled from then but it is so much lighter than I usually bleed only filling around a pad a day when usually I'd feel 2/3 for the first 2 days. It has also ended today Saturday 16th so that's only 4 days when I usually last 5. The blood is bright red and did have a flow to it but it was very intermittent and very light for me. So my question is could this be implantation bleeding that I have read about? I'm naturally very paranoid and have been stressed lately so I'd like some advice on how likely it is. I'm going to take a preg test around when I'm next due anyway and again after to be certain but in the mean time I'd like some opinions.
Antibiotics effect microgynon? Could this be implantation bleeding?
