Would Cipro Effect My Birth Control Pill ?
I was on cipro 500 mg for 7 days,which was during the end of my cycle and the first 4 days of my birth control pack. I had unprotected sex 10 after my the first day of my period. On day 14 I spotted very little after peeing. Could this be implantation bleeding ? Im not sure if the cipro would effect my birth control pill ?

Hello,
There should not be any interaction between oc pills and ciprofloxacin.The spotting that you had quite possible was ovulation bleeding or mid cycle spotting.Implantation bleeding could occur but that means ovulation occurred at least 4 days before and that is too early for ovulation.So i think its ovulation spotting.Your fertile period would be between day 10 and 16.
