not sure what to think

Hi.....ok so this is gonna seem kind of long so I'm apoligizing right now for making it soo in depth.

So....I had sex Januray 6th and I got my period January 18th when it was supposed to come. It was kind of normal I think I mean it was heavy for two days but then the last two/three days it was really light which it usually isn't that light till the last day or so....but sooo anyways January 11th I was put on an antibiotic because I had to have a root canal and it was infected. I finished the antibiotic on January 18th. Then....I had sex this past Saturday the 27th. I am on birth control(Yasmin 28) and I take it on time almost every day (every once in a while I may be a few hours late, but not too often.) We used condoms both times too. I am just wondering if I could be pregnant just because my period was light the last two days of my last period and with the antibiotics being in my system. If someone could just help me out a little...that'd be great, I'm just a little worried and I feel like I make myself feel like I am pregnant so any advice would really help me out...thanks :)

p.s. the antibiotic is called Clindamycin

I've also been having weird cramps like in my pelvic area the past two days...what do you think that means? Is that related to pregnancy? And I'm not gonna lie the time I had sex on the 6th or whatever, I would not even consider it sex because it only lasted for a minute because (not to sound gross) but I was not wet down there so it was uncomfortable to have it. I'm sorry I just do not know what to think about these cramps. I'm not due for my period till the 15th.

Hi,

I'm sorry I do not mean to be annoying but I have also been peeing a lot these past three days. And I know that is a sign of pregnancy. I have not been doing anything different that could be giving me those pelvic pains and I have been off the antibiotics for about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm sorry, I'm just really nervous.

Hi,

Again I'm sorry but today my boobs started hurting a little and I still have those cramps in my pelvic area. I bought a pregnancy test but I cannot take it till at least the 10th because my period comes the 15th. I know you said I do not really have anything to worry about, but I do not understand why I am feeling this way. My friends all say that I am making myself feel these symptoms but I really do not know. I am just young and really scared. I guess I just need a lot of reassurance. I really want to stop stressing myself out so that I do not end up delaying my period, but I do not know how to stop thinking about it :( And one more question, how long do antibiotics stay in your system for? I stopped taking them the 18th and had sex the 27th. Would my birth control still lose some of its effectiveness and how much do antibiotics reduce the effectiveness? I'm sorry for asking so much. Thanks tho
