Hi again everyone!
I'm on birth control pill (MINESSE) just started 5 days ago. I recently had a throat infection so I started taking amoxicillin. I took both last night as usuall and had sex with my husband without using any other contraceptive method. This was the first time we had sex on a long time without using anything else as I was sure I was taking the pills correctly. This morning I found out about the effects of antibiotics on pills!!!! The spotting I saw on the last four days made sense to me now...THE PILL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY!!!! This morning off course I didn't take the antibiotics. Suggestions please!!! Do you think I might be pregnant??? should I take the day after pill??? plan B??? Do they sell those without prescription yet???
