Well i have been feeling poo since mid week so gave in yesterday and rang the out of hours doc. She said it sounded like a virus and possible sinusitus so prescribed anti biotics. I took the 1st two this morning and proceeded to throw them up. I don't think i will be taking anymore as she advised me to take contracepitive precautions obviously she didn't look too closely at my notes as she also prescribed them to a patient with lupus.

Have also had to take time of work which is another major stress

I thought you said it was doxycycline? Doxycycline is not contraindicated in lupus its actually often used to treat arthritis flare ups, the only abx that should be avoided are sulfa containing ones and caution with penecillin so your GP would have been right in prescribing it

Also the main reason doxycycline is contraindicated in pregnancy is because it can affect foetal bones and teeth so its actually the last 2/3rd of preg its a real prob, its considered usuable in the 1st 16 weeks. And like we discussed last night if its a one week course you will be finished the course before you even implanted were you to get a bfp this month so again not a reason to not take it neccesarily.

Lastly vomiting is a common side effect of many antibiotics, its not generally a good reason to discontinue them. The best way to prevent it is to take it on a full stomach, if you cant take it with food have a glass of milk to prevent gastric irritation.

Thanks Lise

I think taking them on a glass of orange juice and a biccy wasn't a sensible idea. Am going to take another one in the morning with some toast and a glass of milk and hope that helps. Will be finished the ab's before implantation occurs if it does this month so am going to bd as normal lol
