What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy Despite Contraceptives While On Antibiotics?

I'm on Yasmin. I run pills to prevent too many withdrawal bleeds (anaemic).

I finished a 5 day course of antibiotics on the 11th day of my last pack. That day I had sex (but with a condom). I had sex w/o a condom on the 5th day of my new pack (that I had back to back with the other, and I forgot to take the last pill of my last pack so I'll take that at the end of this one, all the pills in Yasmin are same dosage no matter what time of month). We put on a condom before ejaculation. On the 6th day our condom failed. Is there any pregnancy risk there?

Also, I had diarrhoea that only lasted until mid afternoon for one day during my last pack. I've had a few soft stools, and in this pack, on my 5th day I had a soft stool 3 hours after I took my pill in the morning and a stomach ache but had to leave the house. Later I felt back to normal enough to have sex (that was the day without a condom). Would I still be protected? Is it just severe diarrhoea that inhibits the pill?

Thanks.

Hi,

With breast abscess mainstay of treatment is drainage after incision. Mostly used antibiotics are nafcillin, vancomycin, clindamycin, ampicillin-sulbactam, cloxacillin etc. Stay compliant to the medication and stay in touch with your doctor. Stay hydrated, use pain killers like tylenol for the pain and use antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
