I'm so scared... I take Ortho Tri-Cyclen... I've been on it since October. I've never skipped a period, but it has been slightly irregular before. This month, I took penicillin for several days. When I have sex w/ my boyfriend, we don't use a condom but he rarely even gets off, but regardless, he never EVER ejaculates in me. Tonight I'm scheduled to take sugar pill 5 & there is no sign of my period. I am scared to death that I'm pregnant... what do I do?!?!

Honestly? I'd buy a pregnancy test and then you would know for sure. Ive been on OTC (well OTC lo, but its similiar) for the past 3 years and have only skipped a period once. I wasn't pregnant either, but it freaked me out totally. When you use antibiotics, you have to use backup for about 7 days after you are done with them for the pill to be totally effective. Even if you bf doesnt finish inside of you, theres still a chance for pregnancy when you are using antibiotics. I hope this helps.

You could be pregnant, but you could also just be late due to stress, sickness or something else going on in your life. However, isn't penicillin known to sometimes interfere with the pill's effectiveness? Since your boyfriend doesn't ever ejaculate in you AND you're on the pill, I doubt you're pregnant, but there is always a small chance. You have to get a test and find out!
