About two weeks ago I was put on antibiotics for a sinus infection, the Rx: side effects listed something about it affecting my ortho tricyclen and that I should use a second form of birth control, however I didn't and I was wondering what the chance is that I may have gotten pregnant. I still have two weeks till my period. Thanks, TRHulfy@aol.com
