I had macrobid for a few.days, but developed a rash. So they put me on amoxicillin, which cleared up the infection, however, I ended up getting a yeast infection because of amoxicillin killing too much bacteria. Overall it was a terrible experience and I should've tried curing it naturally. Btw, my only dungeons were frequent urination and lower back pain

I had one in the very beginning it lasted about a week. I drank tons of cranberry juice and water. It went away. But I said if it lasted longer than 7-10 days I'd go to the doctor.

I among the same Med for 7 days, a friend of mine had a uti almost every month of her pregnancy. They wouldn't prescribed you something unless it was safe for the baby.

I had one for over a month and half with this pregnancy. I took two rounds of macrobid a 10day and a 7 day. Neither worked for me and I had to get a shot of rocephin. i have no clue if it can effect hcg levels or not. I can tell you that I have a perfectly developing baby so I wouldn't stress over it :)
