So hard to get EC

Hi,
Last week I was given Cipro for a UTI at the ER - no one told me it would decrease the effectiveness of my birth control pill (Yasmin).
I finished my last antibiotic pill on Thursday but I had sex on Friday, and ran into some information that says it will decrease the effectiveness of BC. So, I sort of panic. I called up my doctor and got a prescription for plan b but of course NO pharmacies around me have it in stock (sooo awful!!!). So they tell me that I should call up my doctor and have them give me a prescription for lo/ovral. Of course my doctor isn't around and now I just feel like giving up because it's so fustrating, it really shouldn't be this hard to get it.
One thing that makes me think the cipro might not have effected my birth control pill is that I didn't have any spotting, but I'm sure that's not a 100% thing.. I'm just hoping that's the case so I don't go into complete panic mode.
Blah.
Thanks for listening!
