Antibiotics, the pill and pregnancy?
Has anyone known anyone who has been on the pill and antibiotics and conceived by accident?
My sis-in-law was over yesterday and has been taking Amoxicillin for a water infection that she had last weekend. I'm a nurse so told her to be careful if her and my db have had any hows your father over the past week as she is on Yasmin bc. She looked at me like I was stupid saying she had and had never heard of that being a problem before!! She isn't on my planet...lol...she already has dd and ds under 4 yrs of age...and doesn't want anymore! I think I have scared her as now she keeps texting me asking the probability of her getting preggers...!! I don't know anyone this has actually happened too hence this question. I have researched the net and the opinion is divided on whether anti-b's affect bc pills. I thought everyone knew that you should be extra careful when on anti-b's and bc pills. ?

Laura, were you shocked or happy? Think sis-in-law needs to listen to her doctor a little more and read info leaflets....we all call her dippy dora as she is always the last one to get a joke...reminds me of that blond one in the 'vicar of dibbley!!' I have text her and told her to get to her Dr tomorrow morning as even the morning after pill would be too late.
OH was worse he even phoned the helpline on pill box to complain that they didnt work he is only just getting used to now
