BV

I’m currently being treated for thrush at the doctors but I took an at home test to see it it could be BV as symptoms match BV more than thrush. It’s come back positive for BV. I’m so worried that it will effect my pregnancy. Has anyone else had BV during pregnancy?

I'd go back to gp for a swab from them and tell them your findings as its important to get treatment for bv if it is that. I don't mean to scare you but I've heard of it causing issues with some women. It's really common and treatable though so I would just go to doc asap for a swab for bv and ask their advice. No need to wait to finish thrush treatment just ask them as soon as you can and they can tell you if swab is OK to do yet but I was told it was ok to swab when treating thrush before

Did your GP do their own test? I requested for a vaginal swab and they sent that off to confirm whether it was thrush or BV. But it won't affect your pregnancy. I wouldn't trust at home tests for things like this, I'd recommend you finish your treatment and then go back to your GP after and request for a vaginal swab to be sent off, which can confirm if it's cleared up or would tell you exactly whether it's BV or thrush again.

I didn’t have any symptoms of it but tested positive when I went in for a check. The hospital put me on antibiotics for a week and think that sorted it.

Hiya I’m 21 weeks pregnant and have had BV the whole way through it they won’t treat me due to the meds not 100% having been tested while pregnant but I’ve had no complications and I’m 45 years old xx
