A member asked:

Took antibiotics (amoxicillin) mid-cycle. im on the pill and was taking it prior and during. is there a chance i may have ovulated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Most antibiotics don't affect contraception. It's now thought that the only types of antibiotic that interact with hormonal contraception and make it less effective are rifampicin-like antibiotics (treatment for tuberculosis). Amoxicillin is not related. As long as you were taking your BCP every day, you should not ovulate.
