ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!, Please be careful if you don't want to be pregnant, my second child was concieved b/cs of antibotics that i got from a friend for a sinus infection, i was taking my bc pills and the antibiotics for about a week and a half, and I had sex with my husband after i started to feel better and about a month later I found out I was pregnant, and by doctor said if I was careful taking my bc's then the antibiotics decreased its effectiveness, NOTE**my dr. did not prescribe the antibi., I took them from a friend, at the time my first baby was only 7mos., so please be careful, so now I have 2 under the age of 2 and it is a handful I wouldn'g trade the world for my son, but its not easy
