A member asked:
I was taking doxycycline for acne and birth control. i missed one of my pills. now i have a missed period and cramping. could i be pregnant ?

Possible: But unlikely. Doxycycline should not alter your BC protection and missing 1 pill is generally not a huge risk. Do a pregnancy test but your symptoms may be related to a late period. If still no period in 1 week, repeat the pregnancy test again and see your doctor. All the best.
