Answers:

Your period could very well just have come early... it may just be spotting in between periods and go away (even if you've never had that before.) If you are concerned though, you should talk to your doctor! Also, continue taking the antibiotics and don't quit until they are gone.

That definitely sounds like you have a kidney infection, that would explain the pain in your rib area and the blood in your urine. You need to get on a stronger antibiotic, maybe your body is immune to the antibiotic you're taking. It's not something you want to mess around with, go see your doctor asap. I hope this helps.

You should follow up with your doctor. The pain from your back can be from the infection reaching your kidneys. If the source of blood is from your kidneys you could have permanent scarring in your kidneys which reduces the functionality. Call the office and explain your situation with the nurse to see if she thinks you need to be seen again.
Good luck,
