Antibiotics questions

I was on antibiotics my whole pregnancy and while trying to conceive. The antibiotics and surgery did not impact my ability to become pregnant. There are only two antibiotics that I know of that are effective and safe during pregnancy...Augmentin and Flagyl, but Flagyl is not OK first trimester. I have never been on birth control so can't offer advice there.

I'm currently on Cipro and SeasonqueLO (birth control). I have no problems at all, and the birth control is working. It is the kind where I'm supposed to have 4 period/year, but it is working so well I don't get a period at all. My gyn is fine with this. I have also taken Flagyl without problems.

I do not plan on having children, so I don't know about your changes of pregnancy when coming off. I'm sure it would be the same as any other J-pouch lady.

I can tell you that, Augmentin is safest to take in term of pregnancy.
The other most common drugs for pouchitis : Cipro, Metronidazole and rifaximin (xifaxan) are not safe and no doctor would advise them unless it's emergency.

I was told certain antibiotics can cause birth control pills not to be effective. If you do not want to become PG are on the pill you should ask your doctor and or pharmacist if your antibiotic will affect your fertility.
