Yeah so I've taken the same combo pills for about 8 or 9 years now. Never missed a pill. I use it to skip my period and never had an issue except once where I was prescribed steroids and it caused a 14 day period. I had a bad tooth infection and was put on some pretty strong antibiotics this last week..and to my shock and horror I noticed some very light redish mucus and horrible cramping about 2 days ago. It barely did much..but the cramps were awful. Then yesterday nothing. Now today back to very faint blood only when I wipe. Scared the hell out of me. I've never had this issue before..is this common?? And I'm not pregnant.

Yeah so I have a pretty bad tooth infection where my wisdom tooth has created a hole in my molar and it's been extremely painful and swollen the last few days. I was on amoxicillin and since that didn't help I was given clindamycin instead since I can't get the teeth removed for 2 weeks. I was given 0 warning about what this was. I googled it and was TERRIFIED of seeing the results..I took 1 pill and honestly, I don't want to take another. I have stomach issues anyway and take immodium pretty regularly for it. After taking the pill and reading about this I immediately bought florastor and took two pills. I usually take a probiotic anyway but not this one.
How screwed am I?? I'm gonna call him tomorrow and see if he can switch me to something else..I'm not sure what but honestly anything but this! I'm so so scared. Is 1 pill enough to give me c diff? My stomach is a bit crampy already but again, could just be my normal issues/anxiety since it's only been a few hours. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, I am just in a complete panic!

edit- ty everyone! i did end up going with a different antibiotic and hoping that'll help. The clindamycin actually did help a little but it's making me feel really ill. Stomach is cramping and very upset stomach so gonna go with something else just due to that alone. Most antibiotics don't do that to me :(
