Good morning, I take Yasminelle contraceptives on a daily basis. 12.10 I started taking the antibiotic ospamox until 15.10. On Sunday 16.10 I finished the Yasminelle pack and she had a period. Today 22.10 at 15 o'clock I start a new package, but the partner around 11 finished in me. Is there a possibility that I can get pregnant. I know that the effectiveness of anticoncpecia is never 100% but in this situation I do not know what the result may be

Antibiotics such as amoxicillin (the active ingredient in Ospamox) may weaken the effects of ethinyl estradiol (one of the ingredients in Yasminelle contraceptive pills) in some women. In the described situation, there is an increased risk of pregnancy. After about 10-14 days after intercourse, a pregnancy test should be performed, e.g.: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/91349/domowe-laboratorium-pink-test-ciazowy-plytkowy-super-czuly-test/apteki More about which test to choose and when to perform it we wrote here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/test-ciazowy-jaki-wybrac-i-kiedy-zrobic For the first 7 days of using Yasminelle tablets from the new package, it will be best to use an additional method of contraception, e.g. condoms, because protection contraceptive can still be weakened.
