Okay. I know I already asked the question:
If I am on amoxicillian and the pill, does that make my pill less effective?

Your answer: Yes.

However, I wonder - How can this be if the pill causes ovulation NOT to occur? How is there still a risk????

Also, assuming I did have unprotected sex after being on amoxicillian less then 24 hours, should I double up on my pill to decrease my chances at pregnancy?

(You know...I really considered myself smarter than this - How did I get myself into this mess...)
