That's what I was referring to when I said "when correctly used".
These days it is a well-known fact antibiotics interfere with the pill's functioning, at least where I live. My apothecary, when I pick up prescribed antibiotics, always warns me to use additional protection because the pill will be less trustworthy.
The current generation of pills is VERY safe, but of course there is not one anti-conception product that guarantees 100% safety. The pill comes very close though, almost all cases of conception during pill use are due to situations such as you describe above.
Sorry to hear it failed in your case.
