A member asked:

I'm on birth control pills and had unprotected sex while also on antibiotics but he pulled out, should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably yes: The scenario you describe lends itself to the possibility, (even if it is small) of becoming pregnant. The antibiotics lower the effectiveness of the birth control, and you also had unprotected sex.
