Hi guys!

I am very new to this as I am 6 weeks into my first pregnancy. I am thrilled as I never expected it to happen so quickly (we just got married last month) but I am already SO uncomfortable and feeling defeated thanks far too much googling.

On 11-4-22 I went to the doctor because I knew I had a yeast infection. It turns out I had both a yeast infection AND BV (yay🙄). I have had both in the past but have been able to prevent them for years now thanks to my probiotic that I take religiously.

The doctor prescribed me a 7 day cream for the YI which has helped a ton! She also prescribed me Flagyl for the BV but informed me that there were studies done showing a possible link to miscarriage when used in the first trimester.

Now I am so afraid to take the medicine but when I google what I should do, I find things saying to treat it now and I find things that say to wait until the 2nd trimester. I also see articles about how leaving BV untreated can also cause problems.

Please tell me I’m not alone and give me some reassurance 😩 I’m so nervous. Has anyone else has this issue so early on in their pregnancy?
