Hi 12.14.08,
Thanks for your question and for finding EmpowHER. Anytime you forget to take your pills and have sex, you risk getting pregnant. Most doctors recommend using a backup birth control method (condom, spermicide, withdrawal) when taking antibiotics.

Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
