Brief Answer:
In most cases caused by hormonal changes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Bactrim has no effect on sperms or your menstrual cycle. All that transpired is probably a coincidence and shouldn't be specifically linked to this. I will ask that you monitor only as most persons would return to normal spontaneously.

For sure you are not pregnant. Pregnancy is far fetched and should be totally disregarded. Hormonal changes, which almost every woman experiences at least once in her lifetime, is responsible. Be calm and do not panic about this.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
