I’ve been feeling scared because I’m not sure if I’m experiencing pregnancy or period symptoms. I was on nitrofurantoin for a UTI while on Levora birth control and had unprotected sex after finishing the antibiotic. I’m stressed because I don’t want to be pregnant. I’m not sure if my breast heaviness and appearance changes are due to pregnancy or my period. I’m due to get my period in about a week. I’ve read that the antibiotic can cancel out my birth control, which is why I’m so concerned.
