Hi girls,

I was just wondering if you had to be extra careful after your BA because you've taken antibiotics? I'm on the implant and I wondered if it would affect it? I was given all my antibiotics at the hosipital through a drip so haven't taken any since I've been home. The doctor didn't mention anything but im not ready for kids so just wanted to know. Thanks!

Hey hun i have the contraceptive implant and yes antibotics affect it, when i had to take a course of anitbiotics i had to finish the course and then had to carry on using condoms two weeks after finishing the course, thats what my gp told me. xxx

Hey hun, I was on (ALOT!!) of antibiotics for the past 5 weeks, and i honestly didnt think anything of it until my friend at work asked me. I googled it and it says it doesnt affect the pill?! "This change in advice comes because to date there is no evidence to prove that antibiotics (other than rifampicin or rifabutin) affect these contraceptives. This is the latest guidance from the Faculty of Sexual & Reproductive Healthcare. " Only if you've been sick or had diahrorea (cannot spell it!). xxx

Thanks for your replies. I don't think I am, we've only managed once so far but I felt sick earlier and it suddenly crossed my mind! Xxx
