Hi

I juat found this link, so i copied and paste it for you, hope it helps.
UTI= urinary track infection

In the case of conception and UTI, there are no obvious harmful effects of the bacterial infection. Most women who are experience a UTI while trying to conceive
are unlikely to experience problems directly related to the presence of bacteria in the urinary tract. The most important factor is to ensure that the infection is quickly identified and treated. Any untreated infection can lead to even more unpleasant and unnecessary symptoms.

There have been links between UTIs during pregnancy and subsequent premature birth and birth defects, but there is very little information showing a link betweem UTIs and conception problems. The use of antibiotics while trying to conceive also appears to have no direct negative impact. Many women are treated for UTIs and similar infections while trying to conceive and many are known to conceive at the time treatment is being received.
