- Three years ago while on the pill I got strep throat. My doctor pres-
- cribed antibiotics. About a month later I got that old familiar feel-
- ing again. Lo and behold I was pregnant. When i went for my 1st pre-
- natal checkup I was concerned about the affects the pill would have
- on the baby. I asked the Doctor if antibiotics can counteract the pill.
- She said she had heard about it but I was the first person that the
- (the group of gyno's) had to met to claim this. A few nurses I have
- spoken to over the years have said they have often heard about this
- happening. Well my 3 year old son is living proof that this can occur.
- Luckily the pill seemed to have no affect on him. I figure I continued
- taking the pill for about a month after the strep throat incident.
- Counting back from when he was born we figured conception to be during
- the week I was taking the anti's. My question is why don't gyno's
- caution a woman when she goes on the pill that this can happen?
- Has anyone's doctor warned them of this???? Not that it matters to
- my husband and I anymore as we took the big " V " approach to
- permanent birth control. I was just wondering if doctors were now
- talking about this yet and if not then this is most certainly a
- good place to talk about it as most of you all seem to be of child
- bearing years. Of course we were quite happy to have a boy as our
- first three kiddies are girls. He is the royal crown prince of the
- family and everyone spoils him most especially his sisters. But
- FOUR are plenty enough for us........
