Hello. I recently had been diagnosed with Strep Throat and was prescribed Penicillin. I have been on Depo Provera for the past 5wk+ and was wondering if that could've had an effect on the shot or not? I noticed that towards the end of the 10day period that I was ordered to take the penicillin, i was having ewcm...Is that normal or an effect from the antibiotics? I thought that my cm is supposed to thicken while on the shot. Any advice?

Usually penicillin has no interaction with the hormonal contraception.


To the administrator: I couldn’t find the meaning of the shortcuts “ewcm” and “cm”.
