Repost from TTC, we are not TTC but have a question re: antibiotics..

I was just wondering if anyone know if antibiotics can make your period late? I was on strong dose for 10 days for strep throat and period is late. (HELP! I don't want to be pregnant right now). Thanks all.

Not sure about that but they can intefere with birth control pills working. If you take them or use the patch you could be pregnant so please test. It is best to stop the pill as soon as you think you may be pg.

Antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of the pill - BUT I had strep and the antibiotics threw off my cycle by about 2 days - but if you are concerned I would test
