Hello. I am on the pill and just got off an antibiotic. Could that affect my period being off schedule?

It might affect your period. Since some antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives for some women this board recommends using back-up while you are taking your medicine and after the last dose continuing back-up until you have taken at least 7 consecutive active pills correctly. Thanks for posting. I hope you're feeling better. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
