    Ask about plan b pill
    Okay so,

    I have been taking birth control (beyaz) and wasn't late, or had missed a pill in a really long time. However I was taking tetracycline and had unprotected sex about 3 days after I had stopped taking the antibiotics. The next morning I took the plan B pill and continued my birth control. Should I be worried about a pregnancy scare?

    Also I had unprotected sex the next night as well but he did not inside me. Thoughts?

    Antibiotics can cause hormonal birth control to be less effective. It sounds like you've done everything you can given the situation, but only time will tell.

    So if I am now taking the 4 white pills in my birth control and I start my period and I good?

    Hypothetically, if you finish the tetracycline and then have your period, you should be OK considering you took the extra step of taking the plan b. You won't know for sure till you have your period.

    Normally plan b will cause you to miss a period or two, so it is going to be hard to tell for a bit.
    No birth control is 100 percent

    Fr_Chuck I heard differently I heard you are supposed to have your period on time, but no more than a week late.

    You won't know until you take a HPT and wait for your next period.

    Ok so I finally had my period just like I normally would on my birth control pill. But it keeps lingering light blood, very light. What the heck?
