My last period was July 18th through the 22nd. I went to the doctor for an ear infection on the 24th witch he prescribed antibiotics. I am on birth control pills and use the withdraw method. Yesterday on Aug 7th I had some mild cramping but I'm not due for my period till the 15th of Aug. I haven't been feeling well with sore breast and sick to my stomach. I'm thinking I'm pregnant but not sure. Anyone feeling the same or have advise? Thanks for the help!

I do know that anitbotics do lower the dose of the BC pills. But the chances of being preg if you have still been taking them is pretty low. You may be experiencing cramps before you AF because of the pills being mess around with the antibotics. Don't be suprised if AF comes early. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice Tracy. Your probably right. But I have been on BC pills for about 5yrs and on and off antibiotics through out this time and never have felt this or had an early AF. This is why I'm so confussed. But I guess there is always a first time for everything! LOL!

Those symptoms can occur when you ovulate.
