On pill but had antibiotics at beginning of pack. used condom. didn't break or leak, checked them. had a 4-5 day period started 4 days after. am i ok?

Low risk, no worry: The potential interference of antibiotics with hormonal contraceptions has been greatly overblown on the internet and other media. It's extremely rare; the only antibiotics proved to cause this problem are rifampin and related drugs, mostly used for TB. Most antibiotics don't have no effect at all. It's not quite an urban myth, but close. In any case, if your period is normal, you're not pregnant.
