I have an doctor's apt this afternoon for a tiny scar infection on my arm. My question is, if he gives me antibiotics for it, will it mean I have to hold off a month on TTC?

I am so bummed out. Is it in any way safe to be taking antibiotics while TTC? And what if implemenation occurs while I am on them? HELP!

Hi there,

I'm not positive, but I don't think you should be taking antibiotics when pregnant if possible. However, I'm sure there must be some available that are safe. Just make sure to tell your doctor that you are TTC, and there's a possibility that you may be, or may become pregnant while you're on the drugs. I'm sure he'll find something that you'll be able to take safely.

Good luck!

There area antibiotics that a dr can prescribe to PG women so I would assume that they can Px them to you TTC. Make sure that you tell him.

Kristin,

You are right girl! I am going to tell the doctor we are TTC or/and that I might already be pregnant. That way, I'll be sure he gives me something safe and won't have the nerve to tell me to skip a month of TTC because of the pill he might give me! :P

Thanks for your thoughts I guess I just needed someone to tell me.

There are definatly antibiotics that are okay to take if your TTC. I've had several UTI's while TTC and my Dr knows I am TTC and has prescribed an RX that is safe.

That is GREAT to hear. I guess I was just scared he was going to make me stop TTC until my antibiotics doses where done. Glad to know there are safe antibiotics out there for those who are pregnant or TTC.
