BCP's/antibiotics : If you continued your use of "June 1/20" , any effects of diminished protection from the oral bcp's which might increase risks of pregnancy would produce breakthrough bleeding (estrogen withdrawal). If no bleeding has occurred during antibiotic use, continue using oral bcp's punctually and pregnancy protection should not be decreased.
