Metronidazole in 1st Trimester?

Heather
Currently 10 weeks 5 days pregnant. I had 2 miscarriages last year, which has turned my into an anxious mess with this pregnancy. So far so good though, at my appointment on Thursday, baby was wiggling and had a heart beat of 174. However, I went in on Thursday because I'd been experiencing some slight itching and burning/pain that would come and go for the past few days, and also sometimes my discharge would have a slightly greenish tint, but not always. They ran some tests on Thursday, but the doctor went ahead and prescribed me metronidazole 500mg tablets twice a day for 7 days. When I went to the pharmacist to pick them up, I mentioned I was pregnant and she said these pills were contraindicated in the 1st trimester and not recommended. So I waited on taking them till I could call my doctor the next day to get my results. I talked to the nurse, and what she said didn't make a lot of sense. She said that all my lab work came back negative, but bacterial vaginosis was just the name for itching and burning, and although it came back negative to take it anyway. I'm concerned though because everything I've read says not to take it in the first trimester, but bacterial vaginosis left untreated can lead to second trimester miscarriages. I took the first pill this morning, but I've done a lot more research since then and am really scared about taking it in the first trimester. Has anyone taken metronidazole in the first trimester and it was okay? Should I keep taking it, or should I wait till Monday and call my doctor again before taking the next pill? I have a lot of anxiety due to the previous 2 miscarriages and this pregnancy seems to be going so well this time, I don't want to do anything that could harm my baby. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
