I have been off the antibiotics for 4 days and had sex. I did not use back up. I am on my sugar pills and should be getting my period any day. What are my chances of getting pregnant? Should I get the plan B pill? Please advise.

 There is a chance you could get pregnant antibiotics effects the pill and you should use other forms of contaceptions till 10 days after your last dose on antibiotics. Your doctor should have told you this and also it should be on the leaflet inside the antibiotics.

You can go to plan B just as a precaution, if you want. Back when my wife was on the pill and we decided we wanted to have a baby, the doctor told us it takes at least 1 month for the pill to be out of your system. So I really don't think you have anything to worry about.
