Sorry for the late reply. Local gyn.does not perform any test on me.

People who are spiking mystery temps even with a viral infection are often (rightfully) given antibiotics because it can mean something else is going on, that's why they call it a secondary infection because it is when bacteria attack after you're run down with a virus - like an ear infection or even pneumonia. It's really not the same scenario as a doctor tossing antibiotics at someone who comes in with the sniffles, you have a temp that is not going away (that I"m assuming the rest of your family did not manifest the illness the same way??)

Overuse of antibiotics is a serious concern but if a doctor saw you and is concerned and is thinking that a prescription is warranted, I would probably trust their judgement vs. the IVF doc (who seems to have changed their mind now, right??) Pregnancy suppresses the immune system and you may be having trouble fighting off bacteria that you have living in you all the time under normal circumstance. Augmentin is a class B drug and if a doctor has examined you and determined you need it, take it.
