I've been on birth control for a week but I've been taking medecation for a skin infection. Today I had sex but we used a condom and we're pretty careful. He didn't let off beside me but I'm still kind of worried.

What should I do??? Should I be okay?? This was my first time... So I'm trying to be happy about but it's kind of in my mind now...

If you have been on BC pills for 7 days AND used a condom, I think you will be just fine. Don't worry. :-)

If your skin med is an antibiotic, it could lower the effectiveness of the BC pil, but before you worry about it, I would check to see if it is indeed an antibiotic. If it is, then tell your dermatologist and discuss changing skin meds. And even if it is an antibiotic, if you used a condom, I think you will be just fine.

Take a deep breath.
