Question : Hello. I am 37 years old. My question is : I am taking amoxicillin for 7 days ( after gum surgery for prevention) But me and my husband trying to convince. My ovulation should be 4-5 days after I finish my amoxicillin course. Is it safe for me to conceive? I don't want to miss this cycle.
Thank you very much

Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
