I thought I just heard something like that on the news.

They said something like "medications like antibiotics and antacids can counter birth control pills"

If that's the case, I'm screwed. I get bad indegestion/heartburn a lot and have a huge bottle on my desk.

I know antibiotics can counter BC pills. I didn't know that about antacids.

This website says it's true.

Sucks for the girls who take it for reasons like extreme PMS, and regulating their period.. Otherwise just use a condom

Though I might add, I'm about to check WebMD because it's the only site I really trust.

Antibiotics, could happen.

Tums & Rolaids, don't think so, otherwise I would have been preggers many times since I have Tums almost everyday.

Other antacids, ones with strong chemicals, possibly. Pepto bizmol, yes, happened to my friend.

Hm, can't find anything about antacids really. I checked both WebMD and the Mayo Clinic website.

I don't really think so, it might be an old wives tale.

I mean I take my BCPs RELIGIOUSLY.
Same time everyday every single day (except if I sleep in late on weekends).
And yet I take Pepto and Tums a lot.

Since you are taking Pepto, just to be on the safe side then, if/when you do have sex, use a condom for that extra safety.

I shouldn't be doing that for a little while anyway, so I think I'm safe.

Unless for some reason I'm chosen to carry the next messiah.

Probably not the messiah, but may well turn out to be a very naughty boy.
