Hi Everyone, had a bad day today and need anyones advice!
I hope you all aren't put of by what I'm about to say as in TMI but here goes..
I tested positive today for Bacterial Vaginosis Have been in tears worrying it will affect my fertility and feel so dirty.
I've had, shall we say, a fishy smell down below on and off and thought nothing of it. Was tested for it in the summer and again in October because of this smell and the tests were negative.
Anyway, today I went back with the smae complaint and it was positive.
Have been given the antibiotic called Metronidazole which I had before way back.
We're trying for a baby at the mo. In one breath the doc says it's ok to take this even though I may be concieving as I type this, however, to use condoms for the 7 days while I take this course?
These docs speak in riddles sometimes!
In one way at least I've got to the bottom of what the smell is but it's worrying I now know what it is
He said having BV won't stop me from getting pregnant and has nothing to do with mc just the possibility of any future baby's being born pre-term if not treated?
Sorry for rambling but if any of you have any reassuring advice of a similar experience then please let me know. Thanks x
