I was on antibiotics and forgot to take my birth control a few days but then caught up with them. I started bleeding even though I wasn’t suppose to have my period yet. It only lasted a few days. I got my period when i was suppose to a week or so later but it was light and ended early. Is that because of the antibiotics? I didn’t have sex while on the antibiotics and a little while after I was done with them. I made sure my boyfriend used a condom when we started having sex again.

You probably had the irregular bleeding because of taking your pills incorrectly. You were right to abstain from intercourse while on the antibiotics. Some antibiotics will decrease the effectiveness of your pills. Continue taking your pills every day. Your period should return to normal within the next month or so.
