Bacterial Vaginosis during pregnancy. Do you have this experience?

Hi, All.

I am currently 12 weeks pregnant.  I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis during my annual pap smear.  Because of risk of pre-term labor associated with bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy, my doctor prescribed me to 1 week of Metronidazole treatment in 500mg orally.  However, my itching continues.  My doctor recommends Monistat, which I used for 7 days.  Thereafter, itching still persists.  Then my OB prescribed Metrogel, applied vaginally for 5 days.  During the 1st and 2nd day of Metrogel, itching persists.  On the 4th and 5th day of it, itching is not noticed.  However, itching came back 2 days after I finished using Metrogel.  It

well because of the risks involved w/ being pregnant I would just bug the heck out of your dr until you get better.  I get yeast infections constantly and I take acidophilus from a pill on a daily basis.  I checked w/ my dr first so make sure you do that.  I know it isnt for vaginosis but I just wanted to share my itch dilemna.  good luck

I had bacterial vaginosis around 10 weeks, but I never had any symptoms of it.  It was a rountine test for it that found it.  I didnt know itching was a common symptom?  I'm sure you could checked again for it, if you told the doc you were worried about it.

I had the same problem with the bacterial vaginosis.  I got treated for it, but the itching was still there after it went away and came back again.  My doctor told me to wait a few more days and see if it clears up otherwise call and they will do more tests to see if it went away or if I have a different type of an infection.  I gave it about three days and it went away.
