Will Taking Augmentin Effect The Birth Control Pill Intake?
I had sex 13 days ago and am worried because I am taking birth control medication but during the time I had the sexual intercourse I was also taking an antibiotic, Augmentin, which can affect birth control pills. I used a condom during the sexual act as a means of back up and I am almost positive that nothing went wrong, no breakage or tears. I took an at home pregnancy test yesterday, 12 days after the intercourse, and it came out negative. Is that accurate or should I be worried I am pregnant?

Hi,
Birth control pills sometimes is affected by antibiotics. It was right of you to use a condom during the act. If the condom wasnt breached, then you can safely rule out pregnancy from that particular time.
