So earlier this month I had to take meds for about 5 days. I was on birth control. I ended a pack during this time and had my period. Then I started a new pack. The antibiotics were for a sinus infection. How much of an effect do these two have on each other?
I think I told them I was on birth control
I wasnt sexually active....only had anal sex once but that was about 4 or 5 days after I stopped the antibiotics.
Ive had a light period/spotting....enough to have a pantie liner.....could this be from the mixture of the antibiotics and birthcontrol?
the birth control wasnt totally null was it?

What was the name of antibiotics you were taking? Most antibiotics don’t have effect on birth control pills. Only ones who do are based on penicillin, but even those don’t have those effects always. It also depends on which birth control pills are you taking. Those containing estrogen are more likely to be affected, but even then it’s not always the case if you are taking the pills on time and don’t miss much of them in a month. It’s possible that your period was like this because of the antibiotics, but I don’t think there is much reason to worry about pregnancy.
