BC & antibiotics?!
Question: I asked this yesterday...was told to call my doc and when I did I still get conflicting answers. Ugh.
Anyway, I'm on TriNessa. Last week I had a tooth pulled and took Penicillin for 1 week ( last one was Monday). I know you're supposed to use a back up method because of the effect anitbiotics have on the pill. I just decided to not have sex.
Does anyone who's dealt with this know how long I should wait before being sexually active again? I start my placebo pills tomorrow, and I was going to wait until I start my next month's pills. Should I be ok then?
I plan on calling someone higher up tomorrow to hopefully get the right answer, but I would appreciate any help with this.

I would wait until after being on a week of active pills before having sex again. You should be safe doing it that way.
