Could she be pregnant?!
Question: my girlfriend has been on birth control for the past 4 months, she recently had some kind of infection causing a bad smell during sex, so she went to her gyn. (for a check up) and told her what was going on, the dr, perscribed her some anti bacterial pills for the odor.... she took the pills for 14 days, i think, and we had sex during that time period.... we recently heard that antibiotics can render birth control pills ineffective.... but the doctor KNEW she was on the pill, could she be pregnant?

The smell was likely caused by a yeast infection and the pills likely did not impair the effectiveness of the birth control pills. A yeast infection can be spread to a male sex partner but it is unlikely. If you want to know if she is pregnant you should buy a pregnancy test at Target/Walmart.
Just to be clear, any woman can get pregnant even if she is on birth control. I have impregnated women who were on the pill and the 3-month injection and friends of mine have impregnated women while using condoms. 99% effective means you will get a woman pregnant 1 out of every 100 times, plan on it and don't have sex if you're not ready to be a Daddy!
Has she missed her period??? thats a big huge sign. then she must take a pregnancy test if she has. then if thats positive uh yeah. that smelly infection is called claymidia and that can be very dangerous to a fetus, it also can stop a woman from getting pregnant
Yes, it is possible. She could call the pharmacist to see if those particular pills limit the effectiveness of birth control pills but with most you are advised either by the pharmacist or with a leaflet that comes with the pills to use a back up method of birth control. I was on the pill several years ago and prescribed antibiotics a couple times. Although the doctor maybe should have mentioned the bad interaction with the pill he didn't. The doctor never mentioned to me it might limit the effectiveness of the pill, but one time the pharmacist did and the second time I read it in the paper that came with the pills..
she couled be
Birth control or not she could be pregnant, my best friend has a 5 month old to prove that fact. If the doctor knew she was on the pill, the doctor would've told her not to have sex if the anti-bacterial pills did anything to mess with her birth control and the anti-bacterial pills would have some kind of warning. Also if you used a condom you need to factor that in to. I really doubt she is if she hasn't had any symptoms of pregnancy.
