Well, if you consider beer, tranquilizers, depressants or marijuana to be medication, it is possible repeated doses over days could mess up one's pill taking schedule, and, uh-heh heh heh!

Seriously, my wife takes em' (b.c pills, that is), and she tells me that certain antibiotics could make it possible to conceive. The only other thing she's aware of is IF a woman stops taking the pill, she would DEFINITELY be more fertile than in normal circumstances (say for someone who's never taken it)! I am not aware HOW long that high incidence rate occurs in days or hours, but I would warn you it might not be very long...after all, that is why there is something called the day after pill...e.g when a couple goes on vacation and has sex ONE NIGHT w.o the pills left at home...uh-oh!!

There is no correlation between Birth Control and urinary tract infection.

In general the urine is sterile. It is usually free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi but does contain fluids, salts, and waste products. An infection occurs when bacteria cling to the opening of the urethra and begin to multiply. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body. Most infections arise from one type of bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the colon. Discover more in recommended related link below.

Could having gone off seizure medication and birth control have anything to do with having a late period?

I don't know how seizure medication affects periods but I do know that menstrual cycles of many women are irregular when first getting off of birth control.. some start spotting and/or bleeding for days on end while others do not get periods for months on end. I think it all depends on your system and how long you were on birth control prior to stopping. some anti seizure medications can make the pill ineffective..... i would get a blood pregnancy test. my mother has seizures and she was on the pill when she got pregnant with me I just stopped birth control over a month ago and still haven't had my period. Have had no sex either, so I'm not pregnant.
