It could be your period is about to start....maybe give it until the weekend and see if your period is just late. If it doesn't show, try a pregnancy test.

Perhaps being ill and using the antibiotics threw it off this cycle. Being off a few days either side is not unusual....sometimes due to hormone fluctuations, sometimes simply due to the number of days in each month.

If you want, go ahead and try a pregnancy test now. If you get a negative, give it a bit more time and see what happens. Still no period after several more days.....try another test at that time.

Antibiotics greatly reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill. Please get a pregnancy test or see your doctor.
