The birth control pill may not work as well while using Augmentin so another form of birth control will need to be used along side the pill while taking it and for 7 days after.

Wait and see if you get your next period and if not take a pregnancy test. But it's probably a good idea to start using condoms as well.

You can take the emergency contraceptive pill but it may mess with your cycles a little.
