Hi Alicia, it is not uncommon for woman who are ill or under a great deal of stress to skip periods while on or off the pill. With PCOS it just makes it more difficult to know why you skipped =). True antibiotics can weaken the pill thats why you should practice alternative forms of birth controll while on them and it sounds like you already do that. I don't know what the statistics are from this but I am sure they are low. wait a couple of weeks and take a HPT if your worried. Good luck,Dona
