Unprotected sex 2 weeks after discontinued use of ciprofloxacin. had a period in between the 2 weeks. took ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) lo whole time. protected?

Yes, likely: Yes, you are likely protected. The effects of antibiotics on birth control efficacy is very minimal. Sometimes women use a back up method like a condom, but it's very likely that you aren't pregnant or becoming pregnant.
