Can antibiotics cause an early period to happen?im on amoxicillin 500mg (took one last night and one today) im 15 days early for period. help?ideas?

Doesn't affect cycle: Using typical antibiotics, such as 10 days of Amoxil (amoxicillin) or 5 days of Zithromax (azithromycin), should not affect a normal healthy person's menstrual cycle nor her period bleeding.
