Can untreated bacterial vaginosis cause preterm labor?
So I am 99% sure that for the last month I have had a BV infection. I am 24 weeks pregnant, and had almost exactly the same issues when I was 12 weeks along. I was treated then, right away. My husband is military, and I won’t be allowed to visit my OB until mid-June ( next appt. ). I called and that was the VERY soonest they will see me, even when I mentioned I thought I had an infection. So for a month now I have had these symptoms, and it will be another 2 1/2 weeks before I am seen, if they do not change my appt. AGAIN. So other than my frustration at military drs. ( no, my insurance will not let me have a civilian unless I switch my insurance altogether which I def. do not want to do ). Anyways, this is my 3rd child, last pregnancy delivered at 36 weeks if it matters. I keep finding conflicting info on the net, and was wondering if anyone else has had this untreated for so long?
They won’t call in the prescription because it was an ER that prescribed it. ( I thought I was miscarrying so I went into the ER. But Tricare doesn’t consider an infection to be an emergancy so it won’t be covered if I go in ). Which sucks.

they say it can but do not stress they cant call you in a prescription over the phone? i would call back talk to the nurse and tell her your concerns maybe she can figure something out for you good luck!EDIT that sucks your nurse at your doctors office will do nothing for you? that would piss me off that is unfair that you will have to go another 2 weeks unsure of what is going on with your body well i know it doesnt mean much coming from a stranger but i hope everything is going to be ok. im sure it will be:)
