Scared I may be pregnant...
My DH and I started to TTC #2 last month and then I got really sick. I had to take 2 different types of antibiotics (Zpack & Levaquin) and Prednisone.
Now I am over 11 days late. At day 5 & 6 of being late I took 3 pregnancy tests and they all came up negative. I plan to take another one tomorrow.
I'm just worried that if I am pregnant that the meds I took will do something to the baby.
Any advice?

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
I agree with JennZ. I got pretty drunk several weekends in a row before I found out I was preggers. I was probably at least 3-5 weeks along at the time (so much stress, we had just moved into new house and I wasn't keeping track of my period). My doctor said this kind of stuff is totally normal. Damage can really only be done if you are doing these kinds of things daily, throughout your pregnancy.

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
I also agree with Jenn. I had quite a few drinks at a party, didn't know I was pg at the time. Also, I know it's ok to take the z-pack while pg.
But, don't worry...I am sure everything is fine. There has been worse things that pg ladies have done or taken.
Good Luck!!!

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
I was sick right before I concieve this baby and I asked the doctor he said the baby would be fine that most the time the drugs are even out of your system before you even concieved.

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
I wouldn't worry about it too much.. I'm a severe asthmatic and I take an inhaled steroid every day. I've also been on antibiotics and prednisone in my first trimester...........
Prednisone can effect your cycle....... I have been late in the past because of the prednisone

I had bronchitis in my first trimester and they gave me a zpack and prednisone. Those are fine for the baby.

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
the placenta wouldn't be established, so it's likely fine.
but I honestly suspect the antibiotics messed with your system down there, and you may be on the cusp of a mild yeast infection.....
good luck!

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
If you are pregnant, the baby is fine. I took antibiotics while pregnant. I also had half a bottle of wine 2 days before I got my BFP. So no worries.

I was VERY sick last month and on meds/IV's etc. It threw off my period by 11 days.
Take a test, if you are I am sure it is fine like everybody said, but test anyhow.

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
You do not share your blood (or anything you ingest as a result) until around 21-24 days after conception. As long as you are no LONGER taking these drugs- the baby will be perfectly fine.
That being said, I freaked out about my DD too since I had oral surgery before I found out. I was on vicoden, had anesthesia that was not the one you would use while pregnant and plus the tramua and blood loss. DD is perfectly fine.

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
I'm not a doctor but I will tell you this... Through this pregnancy I have been on a Zpack, Augmentin and a Medrol dose pack [Prednisone]. They were prescribed to me due to severe bronchitis that lasted a month. This was at the end of my 2nd and beginning of my 3rd trimester though. I think you will be fine. If you have any fears, talk candidly with your OB. Good luck!!

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
It would be so early on that none of these things could really harm the embryo, b/c that's really what it would have been at that point. But I don't blame you for being concerned.

Re: Scared I may be pregnant...
Not sure about the Levaquin but i remember taking the Zpack when i was preggo with #1. It might be one of those safe drugs.
