Hi,
Oxy tetracycline has teratogenic effect and are deposited in bones n teeth it decreases the efficiency of oral contraceptive pills . So it should be avoided in your condition.
Regarding your pregnancy status wait for you normal menstruation to come if doesn't then check pregnancy status with UPT after a week .
Hope this ll help
THANKS N REGARDS
