I noticed lumps along my bikini line a couple of weeks ago, they were tender to the touch. I went for a visit to my gyno and she told me it was my lymph nodes swollen up. After the exam she determined that I had an infection in my uterus and prescribed metronidazol (500mg 2x daily for 7 days). I also have been having problems with constipation, my breasts are extremely tender, and fatigue. She told me to take a pregnancy test in two weeks. My question is this; if I am pregnant how will this uterus infection and/or the antibiotic affect the baby? Could the meds give me a false reading on the pregnancy test? She was kind of vague when I asked her if these other symptoms could be linked to the infection, and not a pregnancy, telling me that hormones can affect all of this. There has been a small window in time where I could have concieved, so I will follow her advice on the test for sure.

Some info on me: I am 28, I had two miscarriages(both over 10 yrs ago), at the age of 22 I had cysts on my cervix that were 'shrunken' with birth control, I have been on birth control since I was 15, minus the years between 19 and 22.
