Hi bri_bri_xoxo, welcome!

Antibiotics don't decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives for everyone so you may still be ok. However, if it has been less than 5 days since the last unprotected intercourse if I were you I'd take emergency contraception. EC is most effective if taken within 72 hours of the encounter of concern but is somewhat effective for up to 5 days. For more about EC see the EC site at: http://ec.princeton.edu/ .

If Aunt Flo should be along tomorrow or the next day then you don't have very long to wait to see if she arrives on time. If she's a no-show you can test to see where you are.

Thanks for stopping by to post. Let us know when AF arrives and how you're doing, ok?

Good luck and (((HUGS)))
