breakthrough bleeding Q's
| Fri, 05-21-2004 - 8:58pm |
Doc prescribed me Amoxicillin for an infection, and warned me about using backup (Im on Alesse). I've had breakthrough bleeding for about 2 weeks now because of the antibiotics. When will it stop?
Question 2: If I have sex while having breakthrough bleeding, what are the chances of pregnancy? I assume because Im bleeding, Im not ovulating, but I wouldn't mind knowing for sure.
Thanks!

It's hard to say how long the btb might go on, everybody's response to antibiotics is different. It might continue until you start the next pack, or it might stop on its own after a bit. Some doctors will tell patients to take small doses of NSAID's (like ibuprofen) to try to reduce the bleeding, you might call yours and see if s/he has any recommendations for whether you should do anything or just wait it out.
Good luck! I hope you're feeling better...

Just keep using back-up for the entire time you are on ABs and for at least 7 days after the last dose. As Judie said you may continue to have irregular bleeding up to your period which may be light, or not. I know it's annoying, but I think you're ok.
