Hi dear , I have gone through your question and i understand your concern.
It is FDA pregnancy category C drug - It is not known whether clarithromycin will harm an unborn baby. But you must tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medicine.

As you are planning, so I would suggest not to worry about just take medication and let the infection subside and on next follow up visit to your doctor just share with him and he will change to category A or B drugs which are more safer ,but right now complete this dose &don't worry.
Hope you find the answer helpful, please do get back for further queries I will be happy to assist you.Rate 5 stars if you are finding this bit helpful it will ignite me to help others.
Wishing your good health.
