Pregnant ?'s: While some antibiotics may interfere with oral bcp's potential effectiveness, injection of progestins (depo-progesterone shot) avoid this problem, but the "depo shot" will act by prevention of implantation by the action of progestins on the uterine lining. If symptoms of pregnancy occur, a serum HCG test will confirm pregnancy with certainty.
