Do antibiotics affect your cycle?

I have been charting and temping for the past several months after going off BC to try and learn my cycles. So far every month my cycles have been between 30 and 32 days. This month I got sick and the doctor put me on strong antibiotics for 10 days which I am still on. I was supposed to get AF on Friday but still nothing. I know I heard before that antibiotics can alter the effectivness of BC but not sure if they also effect your cycles. Does anyone know?

Same situation here. I was on antibiotics for almost this entire cycle and am now on new antibiotics for the side affects of the old ones.Chat Icon Well I would normally have expected AF a few days ago but have no signs yet. I'm wondering if I even O'd since I didn't bother with opks.

Same here, I know I O'd because I have been temping and didnt start the antibiotics until after my O date but I am starting to get a little nervous as to when AF is going to come.

Okay, so I checked my chart from last month. I started antibiotics on CD26 and got AF on CD33 which is a day or two early for me. Not sure if that was from the meds or not. This cycle, I've been on and off antibiotics the whole month, so I'm not sure what my body is thinking.

Checking in to see how you girls are doing. I'm at CD39 and still no signs of anything. I was patient for a while but now I'm getting pretty frustrated!
