Could I be Pregnant? I have the Mirena but have been on Antibiotics aswell!?

Question

Hey, I recently came out of hospital due to a chest infection. They put me on Curam tablets (Amoxicillin & Clavulanate Potassium) and I read on the leaflet inside the box (after I had taken all of them) that they could affect birth control... I also have the Mirena implant, so what are the chances? I have noticed the need for the toilet a lot (I've been drinking heaps of water though) and my b***s are quite sore... I've been pregnant before, and my b***s feel just as sore as they were then, but I'm not sure because I'm pretty sure the Mirena is 99%. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. 10 points for the best answer!

Answer 1

Antibiotics do not affect Mirena.

i have the same implant.  Mirena is a form of depo pro vera (it releases the same hormone as the shot but in much smaller doses) and depo shots arent affected by antibiotics.

Antibotics only affects the pill.
