Im due to start taking the pill again on mon and wanted to know if i was pregnant would it show so soon on a test? thanks x

i believe you have to miss a period first, before it will show up.
also, the antibiotics can mess up your birth control.

It is possible that antibiotics can make the pill less effective, In your situation, though, if you did happen to ovulated this cycle it would be next to impossible to know when you did. Most women, who are not on the pill, ovulate around the middle of their cycle, or about 2 weeks before their period is due. For them around the time their period is due is around the time a test will show up positive, if they are pregnant. Some early resonse tests can give results sooner. If you did ovulate it may have been later in your cycle, meaning it would take longer to show up positive. You can always try now with an early resonse test and see what happens, but if i were you i would wait until you have missed your period, if it still hasn't shown up by the time you are ready to start taking your pill again and the test is negative call your doctor and have them do a blood test to be sure. In the future, if you have to take antiboitics again, make sure to use a back up method, like a condom, the rest of the month. Godd luck
