vaginapaginaHey there ladies!
I had a lovely (not so much) ingrown toenail recently, and it got infected. Ew plus ow!! So I went to the doctor, and he put me on antibiotics for the infection.
I just finished the last pill today.
I had sex twice while on the antibiotic, and I made sure my boyfriend had a condom both time. I know the basics that antibiotics may affect the effectiveness of HBC.
What I don't know, however, is how long AFTER taking my antibiotics do I need to continue using extra precautions before I can trust my HBC again?
I'm on NuvaRing, and I have no clue what my antibiotic was. I think I already threw the bottle away.
Just some general advice would be nice, thanks!
