HBC and antibiotics and spotting
I know this is a life-long question, but I need some reassurance and I thought I'd turn to this community since everyone is so understanding. So please bear with me, darlings. :)
I was presribed a cloxacillin antibiotic (called Anaclosil in Europe) last Thursday for a scar that got mildly infected. I took the last antibiotic on Sunday - I know I should've taken them all, but I left town for a few days and forgot them at home so then I just stopped taking them because the scar got a lot better in those couple of days (I've recently learned that was a big mistake).
I'm also on the pill, Diane 35. I've been taking regularly for years. As I said, I took my last antibiotic on Sunday and my last Diane pill on Tuesday - I am now in my placebo week, hopefully getting my period tomorrow.
However, today I noticed a bit of spotting, just a few drops. This hasn't happened to me for years so I dont know if it has anything to do with the antibiotics or not.
So what do you reckon? My bf used a condom while I was taking the antibiotics - should we keep that up? I reeeally don't want to if not necessary so I just wanted to double check.
I've read all about inconclusive evident of antibiotics on HBC and someone also told me that clocacilin shouldnt affect the pill ... But is there a problem since I havent taken 7 HBC pills after the last antibiotic (placebo week)?
What should I doooo?
My doctor said the antibiotic doesnt affect the pill, the instructions say that it can, the pharmacists appeared clueless. Please help me out, I wanna have normal sex without freaking out. :)
EDIT: It appears that I'm not spotting, but that my period has started a day early ... I've never had that happen before, but surely that's a good sign? It's not very strong yet, but it's deffo blood ...
