Is Taking Pill Trinessa Aka Along With Macrobid Safe For Birth Control?

I got my last menstral period on 7/25 and at that time I was starting my birth control cycle (trinessa aka the pill) but I was also prescribed macrobid for an infection. After about 10 days I lost my pills and obviously stopped taking the pill daily. Durinh the weeks leading to today I did have sexual intercourse and today I started bleeding minimally. Could there be a possibility that I am pregnant?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
A break in oral contraceptive does not provide contraceptive protection.So you do have risk of conception .
Still you say you had started minimal bleeding today,That is exactly after i month ( your last period was on 25/7/14.May be this is your period. Wait for few days to observe bleeding.
- If it's like your routine menses, well & good. ,
- in case bleeding does not resemble get Blood HCG testing done ,for confirming/excluding pregnancy.
Thanks.
