Haan, mujhe bhi 5th month mein urine infection ho gaya tha tab doc ne diya tha. Bilkul safe hai tension mat lo, par ek baar doctor se confirm kar lena na.

Even I am in my 5th month and dealing with a UTI, did your doctor suggest this? I am also very scared of taking medicines right now, has anyone else used it?

Arre pregnancy is like a subscription to random infections, no? My gynac gave me this sweet-tasting sachet and it worked like magic, my baby is totally fine now!

I took fosfomycin in my first trimester because of a stubborn UTI. It's safe and widely prescribed, but get a proper prescription first.

I had a UTI just 2 months back before delivery and my doctor prescribed this. It worked in one single dose itself and was totally safe, but definitely check with your gynac first.

When I was at my mummy's house, I got a severe UTI and the local doc gave me this. My mom made sure I called my main gynac first to confirm, safety is always first.

Since I had GD, I was extremely cautious about everything. My doctor gave me fosfomycin for a urinary infection and it was safe, but don't take anything without your gynac's green light.

Having gone through IVF, I know how terrifying every single pill feels. My doctor prescribed this for a UTI and assured me it's totally safe, but do consult your own fertility team.

36 weeks and my bladder is already dying, now this UTI drama. Doc suggested this sachet, hoping it clears up soon so I can at least pee in peace.

Actually yaar, UTI during pregnancy is so common and super irritating. My Pune gynac gave me this sachet once and it was totally safe for me, but just verify with your doc once.

Dekho, pregnancy mein self-medication bilkul nahi karna hai. Fosfomycin safe hai ya nahi, ye sirf tumhari gynac batayegi tumhara case dekh ke.
