No, antibiotics will not change the nausea, breast tenderness, or spotting that you may have on the birth control patch. These side effects usually go away after you've used the patch for three months.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are caused by bacteria. Antibiotics kill bacterial infections, not cause them. Antibiotics are used to treat UTIs, and in no way can cause them, since they kill bacteria that cause the infection to begin with.

Since antibiotics are used to treat UTIs, it is highly unlikely that antibiotics would cause a UTI.

Its common for most pregnancy....i wouldn't worry so much about it ...But i recommend you to take all of ur antibiotics as prescribed....and keep your area clean!!!!and you might wanna avoid having intercourse until its all cleared up ....if not it can come back...but i don't think there's any major affects so don't worry yourself too much :-)
UTIs are usually treated well with antibiotics. They only turn fatal if the bacteria causing the infection spreads to the kidney and the bloodstream, but this only occurs if the initial infection is left untreated.
