Hello there,
I was recently on a 7 day course of antibotics. I know this affects the pill so carried on taking my pill but was celibate. At the end of the 'biotics I had 1 'biotic free day (took me pill like usual) then had my period. After that I took 3 pills (free days) then had my first shag. Would I be safe? I had taken my pills! I'm just not sure how long after 'biotics you are supposed to wait b4 you are safe again.
Sorry if this is confusing? Please help.

Sounds like you are OK though really cos even though you didn't run the two packets together you waited more than a week after finishing the antibiotics to have a shag.
I wouldn't worry, but if you are, it wouldn't hurt to do a test anyway to put your mind at rest.
