The battle of the antibiotics

If it's not one thing, it's another. Oh no, with us it's all things at once.

We just heard back late today that my CM culture from 6/10 tested positive for group b beta strep, a common bacteria that is very bad in late pregnancy.

My RE here is putting me on high dose Azithromycin (4x/day) for the next ten days to get rid of it. This will likely kill my sensitive stomach. :( The nurse also mentioned that if I have it when pregnant, the treatment is IV ABs. I'll have to go back for a reculture four days after the end of the course of meds (~7/15).

S's culture from NY came back positive for pseudomonas.

We are still waiting on his ureaplasma culture. When that comes back, either way he will be put on a TBD antibiotic as well.

We are like one big human petri dish over here... Article on how bacteria can cause/contribute to IF.
