Subject: Effects on birth control pill from antibiotics and spotting
> I recently began taking the birth control pill Yasmin. About 2 days
> into my first pill pack I started taking antibiotics for 7 days. Then
> about 3 weeks into the first pill pack I began spotting. I got my
> period while on the placebo pills as scheduled, but 3 days into my 2nd
> pill pack I had unprotected sex. Will the pill be effective at this
> point or should I be concerned about pregnancy due to the previous
> antibiotics and spotting?
