How long has it been? HGC shows up in urine after just a few days of pregnancy, so if you are really worried--take the test. Honestly, after several years of bc, it should take your body several months to become fertile again. I had to be on antibiotics for most of last November, and even though we attempted to be safe--fuggeddaboutit. [:I]Thats why I was on the Pill in the first place. 10 days of amox, then a week of Cipro and then a week of Zithromax--expensive, annoying and I think its taken me this long to replenish the natural bacteria that live in my body. But it definitely killed whatever was making me sick. [xx(]
Don't worry about being pregnant, I highly doubt you are--but put your mind at ease, take a $12 test and breathe a sigh of relief.
