I currently have a UTI. I have Been on Macrobid 100mg for about a week. Just started my second week on the antibiotic. I am about a week late on my period, and my breasts are tender, sore, and swollen. I have light nausea off and on all day. I have been extra tired, and very emotional. Also, I occasionally get light headed. Is it possible I am pregnant? Or, is it possible the stress from the infection has delayed my period?

I feel I should mention also, that when I woke up this morning, I noticed the along with my breast being swollen and sore, my nipples have also enlarged, and gotten darker.

 Hello,
If you are sexually active there is a chance you could be pregnant, but yes, antibiotics and infections can also delay your period. Women often have hormonal fluctuations which could cause the symptoms you describe.
If you feel you might be pregnant, take a home pregnancy test to be sure. They should be accurate for you now.
Best wishes.

Thanks. Took a pregnancy test. It came up negative, and surprise, surprise, I got my period the next day. I think between the stress of the infection and the stress of my thinking I was pregnant prevented it. Thank you for your help.
