I just wanted to share this because I’d never heard of it before! I then heard about vaginal Microbiome on the Worst Girl Gang Ever and Don’t Tell Me To Relax podcasts. Vaginal Microbiome imbalances are linked to infertility and miscarriage (I’ve been TTC over a year).
I decided to order a test online (I went with Daye - https://www.yourdaye.com/products/at-home-vaginal-screening/?srsltid=AfmBOorPBEHNSOsVIRJOG-x--TPs2VJvu-9IgSIMpj4lY0JfcwJWosvE which was £99). Was really easy at do at home and send off. Came back with too much of one bacteria. I didn’t really have any symptoms but (TMI) I always noticed a slight smell particularly after sex but thought that was just normal! Anyway, I did some research and read about certain probiotics helping the particular bacteria I had more of and ordered some.
After starting taking those I got my first ever Bfp (although ended in a chemical, but it happened!), and i smell almost totally neutral now 🤣 so I’m sure the probiotics have helped! I plan to retest in a couple of months. Daye do offer a consultation for free as part of the order (but i didn’t get round to booking).
anyway wanted to share in case that’s helpful for anyone who is TTC without success in case it is a factor. I’ll find the podcast links to share too ☺️
