Should I be worried? (TMI warning)

[smjmekg]

I've been wearing pantiliners for a while now since I've had an increase in discharge after my BFP...well earlier I felt extra wet down there, and I just now had to pee so I  went and my pantiliner looked like I peed in it. It wasn't really  damp at all, but it's been probably half  an hour since I felt extra wet. I normally have a moment of feeling extra wet once in a while, where I leak a little more discharge, and it's usually EWCM. I can see it on the pantilier, so I know what it is...but this looks more like it was watery, and it went from one end of the pantiliner to the other, I'm surprised because I didn't feel it all over it I just saw it...the discharge in it was a yellowish/almost light brown color...I put on a new one and I'm gonna wait a little while and check it every hour and see what happens...but should I be concerened? That was a lot of liquid, and I know it wasn't pee I can tell when I pee...or when I leak pee.

He did do a pelvic to and was going to test for it, but  let me leave since it was late and was going to talk to my dr today and supposed to call  me back with my  results. The waiting for the 10th question is for a follow up after I'm done with the medication.

I had BV with my first.  I was told that left untreated it can lead to a MS, so I took the medicine.  But he should have tested you to make sure that is what you have.  It does have a distinct odor and my discharge was a gray color (TMI).   I wouldn't wait until the 10th though.

Got my medication. I'm gonna start it tomorrow and just take  it at the same time as my zantac since they're both twice a day.  

My next OB appointment is Sept 10 and I have a weeks worth of meds, so should I wait to see my dr for a  follow up, or try to set up another appointment sooner? The guy last night didn't say it was BV, he just said "you might expect to see an increase in discharge over the next few  weeks", and then he said "i'm not saying you will get an infection"...OK..you're telling me to expect an increase in discharge like I'm getting an infection and then say you're not saying you think I'll get one? Hmm...I just love army drs...

Oh how embarassing you're right Sab...you think the doctor could've been a bit more tactful, lol.

it just happens when your vaginal bacteria gets seriously out of whack and starts a cascade of events where the infection just keeps getting worse and worse until it's harder to treat than a normal infection. it's not an STD or anything although sex can make it worse, and since you guys are probably not using a condom since you're pregnant all the bacteria on his penis can make it worse.

the symptoms are discharge, sometimes itching, sharp pain, sometimes it can infect the cervix...it just takes some strong antibiotics and you have to watch ot make sure that it clears up or it can hang around for a long time.

Well, it was nothing and maybe isn't nothing. I'm not leaking anything which is good. BUT I might have BV? How the heck do you get BV, and what are the symptoms? The dr said he noticed an "odor" nice right? Totally embarassed...
