Is my protection compromised?
Yesterday I had sex using the pill and pull out as a method of birth control and today it turns out I have strep throat! Most likely I’ll have to take antibiotics..my question is if I’m taking antibiotics but I had sex yesterday will it decrease the effectiveness of the pill? Should I take morning after pill or is my protection still the same? I know that pre ejaculate contains sperm and I know that it takes up to 6 days for the sperm to die. What should I do?

If and when you get prescribed antibiotics, this is just something where you can ask your prescribing physician what they suggest.
