medications and the timing of conception

Hi! I have been currently taking metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis. I started it on the first day of my period on April 12. It is a 10 day treatment and so today is my last day on it. I also took diflucan yesterday for a yeast infection. My question is that we want to start trying to concieve. I normally have 28 day cycles so I am due to ovulate on the 26th. Would these medications have any effect on the baby if we did happen to conceive even though it would have been a few days since I have taken them or would it just be safer to just start trying next month? Any information would be helpful since I don't know a lot about these medications and how long they stay in your system.

Dear Marshelle:
You can safely attempt pregnancy this cycle having taken metronidazole and diflucan beginning at the onset of menstrual flow.
Keywords: metrondiazole, diflucan
