I think that I’m pregnant maybe 5 weeks along. I have a UTI, so I got prescribed Bactrim twice a day for three days. The doctor didn’t believe I could be pregnant because my U/A came back negative. However I’ve been pregnant before and have all the same symptoms and have not gotten a period. My concern is the harm that could be done to my baby if I am pregnant. I told the nurse at the hospital about my concerns and she said it would be ok to take, but I read everywhere you should take it in the first trimester.

Turned 45 last Feb. 16. We are trying to conceive. I had miscarriage last January 15, 2012. It was supposed to be our 3rd child. The gestational age way 5 weeks and 6 days. Thought I have a 28 day cycle I had my period again last Feb. 8. I had my serum test for HCG last March 1, because since February (Feb. 25, 2012), we noticed that my body temperature has been unusually high. however, it was negative. Last Friday night (March 2, 2012), I felt pain on my bladder and I experienced frequent urination. Took a lot of water and fortunately I was relieved from pain. Should I take bactrim forte at this stage? I suspect that I may be pregnant.

This medication, containing Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim is a combination antibiotic.

It is listed as Pregnancy Category C, which means the effects on pregnancy are not known, so please see your doctor.

Bactrim should never be taken during pregnancy. However if the benefit far outweighs the consequennces, the doctor will sometimes make an exception. I think you will be ok. Just get to a doc right away. congrats
