I have a throat infection and the doc prescribed antibiotics, but we are actively trying to conceive this cycle. Now im worried it might affect things. Did anyone here take antibiotics while TTC?
When I was planning, my mother always told me to rely on home remedies like ginger-turmeric milk for small issues. If you really need antibiotics, please make sure your doctor knows you are trying. Take rest and don't take any stress.
It's always tricky when you're trying to conceive! I'd say skip the self-treatment, grab some warm soup or comfort food, and call your doctor. Better safe than sorry when you're planning for a baby.
If you are sick, you need to get well first because a weak body won't help you conceive. But please don't self-medicate with leftover antibiotics. Just inform your doctor that you are trying to conceive so they can prescribe safe options.
Some antibiotics are completely safe during TTC and pregnancy, while others can interfere with ovulation or early development. My doctor explicitly told me to always mention "active trying" before taking any medication. Definitely consult your physician for a safe prescription.
I can only share my own experience, but I had a severe tooth infection while trying to conceive. My dentist consulted my gynecologist before giving me any pills. I personally wouldn't take any risk without asking the doctor first.
