Re: late period, antibiotics & BCPFrom: Munchichic (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 27 Sep 2001 13:44:40 -0500 (CDT)
Hi Jodi, First, I'm surprised that your Dr didn't inform you that ALL antibiotics can have an effect on your BCPs. BCPs don't INDUCE a period, they only help to regulate it. It's PROVERA that is commonly used to induce a period. I would suggest you keep taking your pills as scheduled, but to call this Dr and explain your concern of not getting a period yet. You may very well be pregnant, or it could just be your hormones a little screwy because of the antibiotic interferring with them. In any event, please realize that you are not the only patient this Dr has---and even though you being on a BCP is on your record--it doesn't mean s/he looked at that when they put you on the antibiotic. They could have simply forgotten. Give him/her a call and explain your concern. They'll advise you on what to do from there.
