I'll be on antibiotics for 10 days and I won't be having sex for two weeks after i'm done with the antibiotics. But, after the two weeks, I will be seeing my bf and most likely, having sex. I was wondering, when i'm off of the anti's for two weeks, will I be ok to have sex without another form of birth control?

Only if you start a new pill pack in that time.It is wise to use a back-up for the entire pill pack you used while on antibiotics.Some antibiotics greatly decrease the effectiveness of your bcp's.If you want to be safe,use a condom until you start your new pack.Best to you.
