2 courses of antibiotics and still on pill, suspect pregnancy
I recently had to finish 2 courses of antibiotics due to an ear infection. I really did not suspect that I might be pregnant as I never stopped using the pill. I read the antibiotics pamphlets to get some other info and then saw that both of the courses haven't been tested for safety in pregnancy.
Now I suspect that I might be pregnant and need to know:
- what effect will the antibiotics have on a fetus
- what happens if you fall pregant while on the pill - will it harm the fetus in that early stage of pregnancy (1st 4 weeks)?

It depends what antibiotics you used as to how the pregnancy would be affected.
The Pill will not harm the fetus.
