Antibiotics and delayed Period

I'm a worry wort! But what else is knew ;-). But here is my question... I took antibiotics and refrained from sex a week after and used backup. But i am curious to know if using antibiotics has made anyones period come late or on another day not typical. Its tuesday (still early for a sunday starter) and my period has not shown up yet, and it usually does by now. I have the rest of the week, but to ease my mind, i was wondering if anyone has had a delayed period due to taking antibiotics. I am feeling guilty because i didn't use backup the rest of my pill pack... But its done and over with, what can i do now. ::shrugs::

Thanks

Yes, several times. Every time I would take something before my period started to keep the pain under control, my period would ALWAYS come late and I would end up taking antibiotics for a few days before I even needed them. Maybe we just have super-sensitive bodies.
