It is very unhealthy to take a pill like that..I am in the healthcare field. Depending on the dosage of the amox , it very well could have disrupted your hormonal balance, causing cramping. It is not uncommon to see this in women who use antibiotics while on the pill.

The dosage of it was 250mg...Would that of affected my pills?

How long have you been on the birth control?

I have been on the same kind for over 5 year now and the past few months I had been having cramping and spotting. I just went to the doctor monday, and she did some tests. My hormone levels had changed, which was why I was having the problems. I'm on ortho tri-cyclen and as soon as this pack is done, i'll be on ortho cyclen. Infections and cysts can also cause cramping in between periods.

If you've been on the pills for less than 3-4 months, it could be you body adjusting to them. But it does say that amoxicillin does decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Did you have unprotected sex within a week of taking the meds? Just to be safe I would have a second form of protection with you for the next few weeks to be safe.

I've been on birth control for 7 years and have been taking marvelon for the past year. I know it does say amoxcillin can decrease them but it was only one pills so I dont really know if that would do anything. Me and my boyfriend did have unprotected sex about 5 days afterwards, i've done this before and been fine, but I have started a new multivitamin so I dont know if that would cause it or not and the cramsp started around that time and today I don't seem to have any so far, and yesterday I didnt really have any and when I did it was only a slight pain and didn't come back.

I have been on birth control for almost 2 years now. Before I went on the pill, I had never had cramps before. But as soon as I started the pill, the cramps were unbelievable! I have talked to the doctor several times and have switched kinds several times, but I still get cramps something awful the first day or so of my period. The doctors don't know what to tell me?? I wish they would go away!!!! :(

You may just need a break from the birth control for a while since you've been on it for so long.

That was one of my options when I went to the doc last. But I decided to go ahead and try a new pill instead of getting off of it and risk the chances of becoming pregnant. But if I still have problems with the new one, i'll be going off of it for a while. Sometimes your body needs a break to re-adjust to how it was.

Vitamins shouldn't affect bc or give you the pains. There's not too many meds out there that affect them. I take my vitamins everyday and have been since I was little and it has never caused any problems.

I'd say if you still have the problems a month from now, even if they have weakened and don't come around as often.. Make a doctor appointment. Let them run some test and they'll figure out what the culprit is. =)

I'm 19 years old and just started taking the pill for the first time. I have just completed my first 21 days taking the pill and missed about 2 days on it (not one after the other they were on seperate occasions) and did as the doctor told me just took 2 the next day. I am only on the pill to regulate my periods and aid sever period cramps.

I am on my 2nd day of my next cycle taking the pill and i havn't taken a break between the 2 cycles as i'm going on a field trip on sunday and didn't want to come on my period.
Yesterday i started spotting and had very painful cramps and today the cramps are pretty severe, i'm used to very painful period cramps but this feels 100 times worst, no ibuprofen or anything seems to even mild the pain. Any advice would be much appreciated.
