Antibiotics Delay Period? Effect on Birth Control?

I know that you need to use another form of birth control if you are on the pill and taking antibiotics. Does anyone know when would be okay to trust the birth control pill again? I stopped taking the antibiotics yesterday and that be the second day of my non-active/green pills. If I newly wait until I start the brand new pack on Saturday would that be okay?
Also, my period be supposed to come this morning but it hasn't. There is a tiny amount of something but I wouldn't have even notice if I hadn't been probing for it--so not my period. I hold not had sex while on the antibiotics. Could they bring a delay contained by my period? (it's not even a daylight late on the other hand I'm just usually unbelievably regular). Thanks!

Antiobiotics reducing the efficacy of oral contraceptives is a topic of debate and some controversey. When I worked at Planned Parenthood, the standard clinical advice be to use a backup method for a FULL CYCLE during/after antibiotic usage.

The situation is influenced by both the type of antiobiotic prescribed and the kind of birth control pill you're taking. If for some principle you can't use a supplemental form of b.c., I would ask your MD since he/she will know exactly what you're taking. If it were me, I wouldn't risk it since it's far easier to use a nouns method of contraception instead of (possibly) facing an unintended pregnancy!

I've never heard of an instance where on earth antibiotics themselves caused a translation in menstrual cycle. Could the obstruction be caused by anything issue you were treating next to them? Also, sometimes just the stress on the body from dealing next to illness can create your periods to move about a little tweaky. If you're still delayed in a week, I'd consult the doctor.

In answer to the second part of your press yes the period can be delayed for a bit by the antibiotic have effect on the birth control.

As for the trusting of taking of your pills now that you enjoy stopped the antibiotic I would recommend following up with your dr on this to see what they muse.

YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR DOCTOR

How long?

I can only read out this from experience, but my period be 4 days late this chronological month, and I had only finished a round of antibiotics the day earlier my period come. Go see your doctor, and if you dont get your term before you see the doc, ask for a pregnancy theory test.
