just wanted to vent - dont want to say it out loud bc that will make it real and DH kept asking what was wrong after but i didnt tell him - why should both of us freak bc i am an IDIOT!

Re: freaking out

Ok first I am not a doctor and of course I have heard that with antibiotics you can get preggo BUT if you have been on the pill for a while and take it religiously same time everyday (god knows I dont lol but most people do and you should) it should be strong in your blood stream and unlikely that you would get pregnant...hope this makes you feel a lil better

Re: freaking out

We must have esp because i did the same thing. Although now DH has baby on the brain so hes hoping it happened this month. All i can say is dont stress...the chances are very slim even though it does make it basically ineffective. I'll be thinking of you.

Re: freaking out

Don't freak..just relax...you can't change the outcome and if you stress you may prevent AF from coming on time.

Re: freaking out

Don't freak out. Only one antibiotic has ever been significantly associated in the literature with decreased OCP effectiveness - that is rifampin. Unless you are treated for TB, the chances of you having been on this ab are really low. I truly think you are fine...

Re: freaking out

aw matilde, I think you should tell him, he'll probably be able to help you calm down. I know unexpected pregnancies happen but there's so many factors that would have to be right for you to even get pregnant that I think you're most likely not. Not everyone that doesn't use protection gets pregnant so don't go around driving yourself crazy for 3 weeks!

Re: freaking out

i'm sorry you're so worried hun!!! I agree..maybe DH can help calm you down about the whole situation. And like andrea said..the more you stress..the more u can push off AF (happens to me all the time) The chances are very slim and i'm sure you'll be fine!!!!

Re: freaking out

Thanks everyone that responded. I passed out after I posted bc I have had a huge headache.

I am trying to stay calm. I know that the chances are super slim but I am always so careful!

I guess it is out of my hands now. . . just a waiting game

Thanks again for calming me down!!

don't panic! relax..sometimes stress can really through AF out of wack..so keep your cool..I hope for the best!

Re: freaking out

It's true, Tilde. If you stress for the next 3 weeks, AF will be late and stress you even more.

In order for you to get pregnant now, it'd have to be a damn near miracle...
