Being On Birth Pill With Antibiotics, And Having A Sexual Act Where The Condom Ripped, What Should I Do To Have Normal Periods?
my boyfriend and I had sex this evening and the condom ripped. I am on birth control, but my concern is that since ive been on anti biotics for the past two weeks and it states on the bottle that the anti biotics may weaken the birth control. should i get the plan b pill? will it mess up my period?
It is true that birth control pills can be less effective if you are on some antibiotics. However, they will usually still work, and we generally don't recommend using plan B in cases like yours. You still should use a condom as extra back up while you take the antibiotics, but I don't think plan B is necessary.
