Trimethoprim And Microgynon Posted: 05-21-07 13:08pm
Hi, i was prescribed trimethoprim for a
UTI i didnt actually have and i take the
microgynon contraceptive pill.
i had sex with my boyfriend with a condom,
but once without were he pulled out before
he ejaculated.
i know its possible to get pregnant by
'pre-ejectulation' but is trimethoprim an
antibiotic that definatley reduces the
effectiveness of the pill? because i
believe some antibiotics are less
dangerous than others
thanx

Did you tell your doc you were on birth
control?
Why were you prescribed meds for an
infection you didn't have? Didn't the doc
test you for an infection? (I think it's
usually a pee test)
If the doc knew you were on birth control
and still prescribed you with antibiotics,
you are probably fine. If you are
concerned , use a back up method. As long
as the doc didn't say anything, I guess I
wouldn't worry. As long as the doc
knew....
