I just started taking Loestrin 24 last month and not long after starting it I discovered that I have what I think is a vaginal bacterial infection (Ew, I know) my doctor is totally booked I’m miserable and can’t see her for a while, I’d love to figure out whats caused it though so is it possible that this infection is a weird side effect of the Loestrin?

Hi. I am 9 weeks pregnant and I had some slight spotting on Sunday, so I went in for an ultrasound on Monday morning. Baby looked great, measuring right on target with a good heartbeat.
I went back in yesterday for a pelvic exam and discovered I have bacterial vaginosis. I was prescribed Flagyl for this infection, but my doctor told me that it isn’t recommended in the first trimester because there haven’t been any studies performed on women in the first tri taking this medication. He said if it gets worse to go ahead and take it, but if it isn’t bothering me, to wait until 12 weeks.
I am nervous that letting this go "untreated" for 3 more weeks will hurt my baby. Me and my husband tried for 7 months for this little one and we love him/her so much already, I would be devastated if something happened. So my question is… Have you been in this position? If so, what/when did you take the medication? Also, do the risks of getting an infection in my uterus outweight the risks of Flagyl?

i’ve been doing research all day about how to cure it, i’m pretty sure i have it, and it sucks : /

does anyone know anything i could do?

went to the doctor and he prescribed me Cleocin cream to be used for 7 days for bacterial vaginosis.could i have gotten it from my patner?nas is it a sexual trasmitted disease? and has anyone used cleocin?thanks.

Will the man have chance of contracting this if no condom is used while treatment of bact vaginosis?

How do you get it? I wakeboard a lot, so could being in lake water cause it?

can it cause abnormal squamous epithelial cells?

My gynecologist told me I have a bacterial infection. I heard that my partner could get it too. Is that possible. I mean, what symptoms would he have?

Ok so in 2006 I had what I thought was vaginal warts and/or herpes because I had these itching burning pimple like bumps in my vagina that never went away.

Stupidly I waited to get them checked out and when I did I had a pelvis and vaginal exam preformed and I was told that not only was it NOT an STD, but I had bacterial vaginosis/vaginitis and a yeast infection going on at the same time.

The doctor explained that the bumps were caused by irritation from the yeast infection. Well unfortuantely I suffered from BV up until the middle of 2007 because it just kept coming back. I read that its an infection that just won’t stop.

Well now its come back, but I have no insurance. Medi-Cal has denied me and all the free clinics will want a co-pay even if I have no income. Are there any at home remedies to ease this pain?
