BC and antibotics?
| Fri, 03-12-2004 - 5:33pm |
I'm sorry I know you guys have covered this topic alot, I just need more info. I'm gonna start on antibiotics (amoksicilin) for couple of days, and I was wonder how long after the antibiotics should I use backup? I heard good seven days should do, but I'm worried because I'm gonna be on my white pills (4th week) next week and not sure if I should use backup for the next whole pack? Or just seven days after, which would be during my first week of the next pack. I hope it made sense. :(
Just worried...thanks bunch in advance!

Even though you will be on your placebo pills, if I were you I would use back-up for the entire time you are taking antibiotics and for at least 7 days of active pills afterward. If using back-up for the whole cycle would put your mind more at ease then by all means do it. Better safe than sorry, right?
Good luck

That's what I'd do too--at least backup for the first seven active pills, so long as you don't miss any of those (then you'd start the count over until you had seven on time)!
