Does Taking Antibiotics Interfere With Menses? (Top voted first)

Have been experiencing abdominal pains which are usually happening when im expecting my periods, i went to the clinic and a UA was done. I was told that my urine has some infection, i was given IV, doxytet and bio-metronidazole to take twice a day for 14days. Pregnancy check was done on the same day and I did one today it came back negative. The problem now is that i haven't got my periods and i had unprotected intercourse on the 20 May14. I was expecting my periods around 10th of this month, the first day of my last periods was 09th of May. Could this mean im pregnant or what?

Hello, Queen! How are you?

It is hard to say, but yes there is a chance that you could be pregnant, or you may be off due to the medications.

However, if you've gotten multiple negatives, then the chances of your being pregnant isn't very high, so it is most likely just due to the medications. Some antibiotics do cause it to be late.

Are you done with the medication or still taking it?

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
