The office supervisor at my Drs office told me about the whole antibiotic thing because she had her last child that way! I was 39 when I had my son and she wondered if my story was the same. When I went on the pill my Doc made sure I knew that the only way to be 100% sure was to watch my cycle and use 2 forms of protection at the time I should be ovulating and if I needed antibiotics for one full cycle after stopping them.

It was for me as well. The way I heard it makes me cringe inside...my Mom told me this myth. See, my Dad had been told it by his brothers, and he believed them. He raped my Mom on their wedding night. It took her weeks to get the abrasions to heal and to even want to have sex again. The worst part was she was totaly ready and looking forward to the night....

The thing is it is not ALL antibiotics. Only a few families. I am blanking on them now, and hate to post a list, because new generations of antibiotics are being marketed all the time. Pharmacists seem to know more about this than most doctors do (I was NEVER warned about this interaction while I was on the pill, and I took a LOT of antibiotics. But, usually I used Sulfa, which shouldn't interact with BC pills.) I'd ask the pharmacist when you pick up the prescription if it has any interactions with hormonal birth control.

Heh, I remember when that happened on an episode of House. The girl used some sort of fruit jelly as a contraceptive and was diagnosed with vaginosis. I'm kind of stunned that stuff actually happens in real life, though o_O
