Suggest Treatment For Persistent Urinary Tract Infection During Pregnancy

I m 10 weeks pregnant and have had urinary tract infections since about week 5. I ve been on 3 courses of antibiotics. First augmentin, then 2 rounds of macrobid. Nothing is clearing it up. Finished antibiotics last night. When I wiped last night, I noticed red blood on the tp although none in the toilet that I could tell. Today every time I wipe there are brown blood clots. I will also mention that I am being treated for a dvt and an taking 100mg of Lovenox for about 3 weeks now. Hoping to get some insight. Thanks!

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
Your concern is understandable. As an Urologist, i must advise you, that 2 days after your last course of antibiotics, you should get a culture (urine), repeated, with urine routine test.
In the meantime, get your gynecologist to do a check-up, and he/she may do an ultrasound scan of abdomen done.
Inform the gynecologist about taking Lovenox.With bleeding, it may be stopped. You should get your platelets level checked.
Wish you well.
