Can being on antibiotics hinder you from getting pregnant?

Answer by  kaasha01 (12)

The use of antibiotics has not been shown to hinder your ability to become pregnant while taking them. However, they can interfere with your birth control pills. Antibiotics can reduce the amount of hormones in the birth control pills and cause them to not work properly which could result in a pregnancy.

Some may not make the conditions optimal for conception, but many have no affect at all - in fact, it's shown that many antibiotics actually make birth control less effective.

No I don't think that being on antibiotics will hinder your getting pregnant, but if you are on birth control and are on antibiotics you may get pregnant.

Antibiotics probably will not lessen the chances of pregnancy; in fact, it has been suggested that antibiotics lessen the effectiveness of birth control, therefore potentially increasing the likelihood of pregnancy.

Yes, when you are pregnant not only is the baby sensitive to different things but also your body. To me antibiotics aren't natural so that's the main risk.
