Does Amoxicillin Cause Bleeding?
I started an antibiotic called amoxicillin a couple of weeks ago. I have the implant for birth control. I got the implant and June and have not had a period since. After taking the antibiotic, I started my period. But I also had sex while taking it. Is the antibiotic the cause or could I be pregnant?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The implant is likely the reason for the period delay. In some cases it can cause a decrease in the frequency or flow of the menstrual cycle.
If you want to determine if you are pregnant then you should consider a pregnancy test.
A home test can accurately detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception.
I hope this helps
