Why am I experiencing abnormal bleeding and symptoms on antibiotics?
i was on antibiotics a few days ago and i should have my period in 3 days time. note that i am on bc pill. i was having abdominal cramps and lots of bloating and feeling nauseated. i have experienced pink discharge 2 days ago (which i usually have before my period starts) and now when i poop i have blood coming out my vagina (which looked like when i have my period). not sure if it is a type of discharge, but it looks more like period blood. however during the night i do not bleed at all and not even now. what is happening?

You may experience irregular vaginal bleeding. This can occur when taking birth control pills along with antibiotics. Antibiotics could affect how the pills work, causing unexpected bleeding. The pink discharge and bleeding during bowel movements might relate to this. If bleeding persists or worsens, consult your gynecologist promptly.
