After the positive biopsy, my OB put me on a 7 day course of clindamycin. I've been given clindamycin before - 48 hours via IV when I lost the twins and another 12 hours after the rescue cerclage. My experience then, as now, is that clindamycin has the side effect of causing an awful taste 24/7. I don't know what gasoline tastes like, but if I had to guess, drinking gasoline tastes exactly like being on clindamycin.
You'd think that a week of gasoline would have some beneficial effects. After a week, when I had the stent removed, I mentioned to my OB that I felt like I had UTI symptoms. She took a urine sample, but wrote off the presence of white and red blood cells as the result of removing the stent. So I went an extra 4 days with UTI symptoms before getting the call. . . that urine sample culture positive for ecoli. Of course this leaves me highly confident that my uterus will be bacteria-free. Plus side: one more piece of data to discuss with the Infectious Disease specialist.
