Antibiotics And Birth Control Started My Cycle Early (Top voted first)

Updated

I started on amoxicillin March 15, 2017 for a 10 day course. I then started my cycle March 19, 2017 (just two weeks after my last cycle). It has not been heavy, just a very light bleeding. However today makes the 12th day. Is this normal?Also, should i start a new pack of birth control being that i am on my inactive days. I am taking birth control Tricylen-Lo. I just want to stop the bleeding already. Please help me!

Some antibiotics alter the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives and may alter your cycle. Things should return to normal, once you are done with the antibiotic and start taking the active tablets, again, without interference, according to NIH reports.

Has there been any change, yet? How are you doing, now?

I'm back to normal now. I started my active pill and the very next day my cycle ended. That was just very scary for me and i was worried.
Thank You!
