I was taking Seasonique and stopped in October. I had my period every month since then. My period in December started on the 14th. My husband was coming home on the 24th so I started taking my pills again that day. Prior to starting my pills, I was taking 1500mg of amoxicilin a day for an ear infection. I have been taking 500mg of amoxicilin during the first week of the pills. My husband and I had unprotected sex around 12am Monday the 26th, the 28th which was Wednesday afternoon, the 29th on y night but he did not ejaculate, and again on Sunday morning, January 1st. According to the ovulation calender, I was supposed to ovulate between the 25th and the 30th. Is it possible that I still ovulated and if so, what is the likelihood that I could get pregnant? Today is the last day of taking amoxicilin and I still plan to take my pill the rest of the time he is here. Thanks!

Yes, it is possible that you ovulated since you did not take at least one full week of birth control pills prior to the sexual intercourse. You need to take a full week of pills in order for the hormone level to reach a point that suppresses ovulation. The fact that you were also taking antibiotics during your first week of birth control pills is besides the point.  Keep taking your pills. Wait at least one full month after restarting the pill, and then take a pregnancy test.  Repeat the test every two weeks until you get a period or you have a positive test result.  Of course, if your result does come back positive, you will need to stop the pill. Good luck.
