Hi everyone,
I messaged here about a week ago because of bleeding. Turns out the bleeding was caused by a urinary tract infection which was mis-diagnosed. I'm so frustrated at the emergency doctors right now for not checking, especially as the doc gave me progesterone which I didn't even need!! And my regular gyno didn't see my urine results for ONE WEEK because of Jewish holidays which means I've been sitting here with the infection and not knowing.
My gynecologist has given me diseptyl forte antibiotic to treat it. He says if left untreated by antibiotics it can reach my kidneys which can be dangerous for the pregnancy.
My worry is that there are totally mixed reviews on using this in pregnancy- the gyno says yes, the women's clinic says yes, the pharmacist told me only if the benefit outweighs the risk, another gyno says not recommended and the medication helpline says it's not recommended.
Does anyone have experience with this antibiotic in pregnancy who can offer any advice?
Thank you SO much, it's been such a stressful day!
