What are the risks of conceiving a baby whilst on antibiotics for 3 months

[ghworker2010]

I'm a health thrusting male specimen apart from the fact that Im on antibiotics for 3 months to treat acute bacterial infection of my prostate. Im taking Distaclor MR and Tarivid 200mg.

If I accidently cream pie and get my girlfriend pregnant, is there a risk to the baby having complications / deformities on birth? What are the risks?

I read the brochure and it mentions in the fine print that the drug was tested on rats and no issues to report re fertility etc.

I appreciate your humble opinion.

Why do you consider this while you are in doubt? Nobody is forcing you to impregnate her, right?

Just wait it out and let things heal.

OP, you really are a daft specimen ...............

I would think the only risk to the baby would be having you as a father per se.

The risk comes not from the antibiotics but from whatever organism(s) are causing the prostatitis.

Your g/f needs to ensure she has a full STD screen as part of her antenatal care should she become pregnant as the result of irresponsible behavior.

Crikey, asking a question on here and getting slaughtered................the only irresponsible thing I can see, is asking an internet forum instead of a health professional.

So OP, unless Sheryl or FBN respond, I would disregard all answers on here, the irony of that statement is palpable, in the meantime, seek responsible medical information.

The above is correct. No risk of damage to the embryo/fetus, but the woman could have or develop a pelvic infection.

If can not find a solution that leaves the GF without baby for a limited time than you are right.....
