Ok im goin to try and make this as short as I can.

On 23rd Aug I finished my last pill in my pack of cilest. A day later (monday) I went to the clinic and changed me to Loestrin. She told me to have 7 days break and then start taking them. On day 2 of my break I started to bleed so I took 1 pill from my new pack of Loestrin. My boyfriend convinced me it was best to bleed so I didnt take any more pills and had 7 days from the day I took that pill, so in theory I had 2 days extra (so 9 days) with no pill instead of the 7 - would it make much of a difference??

Also, my 2nd predicament is on the 9th of this month (so 2 weeks after the first day of my period, one week into my new pack of pills) I got put on a 7day course of antibiotics. I had a 3day course a few months ago and didnt fall pregnant so, despite being told again they interfere with the pill and to use condoms for the 7days whilst on them and for 7days after too I failed to. We had unprotected sex twice during the 7days of taking antibiotics.

My question is I know ive really messed up this month with my pills and the not using condoms too but how much of a chance is there that im pregnant? Ive only got 4 days left for this pack of pills and normally I would just not have a 7 day break but I will this month to see if I start my period or not but ive been weeing a bit more than normal and really sore boobs and feeling car sick (which i only ever got when i was prengnant with my first) but ive been putting all these down to the pill.

So if anyone could give any advice it would be much appreciated. I just kinda need to know my chances. I will be taking a test if I dont bleed during my 7 day break but I just wanted people opinions now before hand.

Thanks!! x x
 
You do not get pregnant every time you have unprotected intercourse, so the fact that you did not get pregnant when taking antibiotics before is irrelevant. Yes, antibiotics can make your birth control ineffective. I actually know quite a few women this happened to. Yes it is possible the new pills may be causing the nausea, I had pregnancy like symptoms when I took the pill when I was 19. Definitely test if you have any doubts, because taking the pill while pregnant can cause complications.

Good luck!
