Last month I had a cycle and about two weeks later I had another light cycle for about 3 days. I started taking this antibiotic after that and it wasn’t making my birth control effective anymore. I’m 11 days late on my cycle and I took a test it came back negative..

Breakthrough bleeding is normal

@Yi_eune yes I understand about the breakthrough bleeding. But I’ve never went this long without bleeding

@Justroses456 light bleeding still counts as bleeding so it’s only been a month. Birth control is also known to stop bleeding

@Yi_eune I took a test on my 11 missed cycle date. When should I take another one if I don’t start bleeding?

@Justroses456 you’re not missing cycles, you don’t have an actual cycle when using birth control. The bleeding you may experience is synthetic, it doesn’t really mean too much even if you do bleed. It really does not matter whether you bleed or not. As long as you use your birth control correctly there is no reason to test.

What birth control are you on? Unless you’re on the non hormonal copper IUD, you no longer have real natural periods and therefore you are not “due”, “late” or “missing” a bleed. Any bleeding is a side effect of the pill and doesn’t really mean anything. The ‘cycles’ you experienced is just irregular bleeding, a side effect of the pill. What antibiotics were you on? The majority of antibiotics do not affect the pill unless they give you severe diarrhoea or vomiting that affects your BC. The only ones that do treat serious illnesses like meningitis and TB, in which case your BC will be ineffective for a month after use I believe.

@bluerose9 I haven’t been taking my BC as I was supposed to. And I was taking amoxicillin. Right before I started taking the amoxicillin I bled twice and haven’t bled since. It could definitely be the way I’m taking my birth control. I’ve been scared to take it because I don’t know what’s going on

@Justroses456 how are you taking your birth control ? What pill are you on?
