The pill

[Abbie]

so what does everyone think?
Do you think I should mention it and if I do end up on anitobotics would I still be able to pick up the pill but not start taking it till my course is over?

Abbie.. with the pill you don't take it until the first day of your next period. If you are off the course by then you should be alright.. if you have to take antibiotics regularly, yes, tell your doctor and they might be able to suggest options

Ok thanks, the good thing is I dont take antibiotics regularly, Im only on antibitics when I have tonsilitis and even then I dont go on antibiotcs whenever I have it, sometimes I just dont bother

i remember the doctor saying to me that antibiotics do make the pill less effective, but you should be ok if you start your first packet when you finish the anti biotics.

[Abbie]

good thats all I wanted to know really, cos It saves me two trips to the doctors

[Abbie]

Well Ive been to the doctor and got the pill now. She didnt put me on antibiotics for my tonsilitis and explained and it all made sense. She also explained loads about the pill and gave me a leaflet and was really helpful

Thanks for all your advice and stuff
