PLEASE HELP! Do I need EC???

I wrote earlier but no one has responded...

I'm on my period, and had unprotected sex last night. I took my pill this past month perfectly, except that I took a Z-pack during my third week of pills. I know antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of the pill, so I'm freaking out a little! Do you think I need EC?

PLEASE respond! I would appreciate it so much.

Thank you! Liz

I wouldn't worry about it. It would be rare for you to ovulate during your period. You should research how your cycle works and maybe that could calm you. There is only a small time frame the whole month that a women ovulates, about a 24-48 hour window usually within the middle of your cycle. Not to say that you should count on that because your body has the tendency to play tricks on you. But all in all, I wanted to respond to you.
