Okay I am confused with this please help me understand where i got this... Here is what happened I went to the gyno after a break up he tested me for clamydia and gonereha and looked under the microscope for B.V cause i have a reccuring problem with it and he said he found ALOT of bacteria and  the clamydia and gonereah were neg. He was going to give me flaygl and I told him it makes me sick so he gave me two doses of Tindamax I didnt take it for a few months and just used metro gel as i was scared of the sideeffects. Well one night I had sex with a guy and 24 hours after that i took the tindamax after that i became irriated down there and had a thick discharge so one week after i had sex I went to the planned parenthood and had them test me for gonareha and clamydia. She looked under the microscope and said she saw ALOT of yeast so i treated with monistat and didnt work i then did diflucan didnt work went to my pcp and she looked at it and said she saw yeast she prescribed me tarezol i did that didnt work. I went back she tested me for goneraha and clamydia and negative but still saw yeast and a few c cells. I did metrogel diflucan didnt work then terazol. So i went back to my gyno and he said I have trich

My question is do you think I got this from the one i broke up with? or do you think it was the most recent. I thought we used a condom but I was drinking? And If i did get it from the most recent one wouldnt the tindamax have knocked it out as i took it 24 hours after being with him? or is that to soon? I just cant figure it out. This is why I will never do this again unless they get tested for everything b 4 i do anything. Thanks so much for taking time to read this i know it is long.

I know this is upsetting, something similar happened to me.  I've been sick for 6 months...about 2 months after I first slept with my current bf.  Strange discharge, itching, irritation.  The doc kept saying it was yeast....finally I became fed up and said just test me for everyhting, just in case--even though I've only slept with two guys in my whole life and I've always used protection.  Apparently it's trich, although it wasn't present under the microscope it came back positive from the lab.  Now I'm on Vandazole, felt better for the first couple days, and I just started itching and burning again (I had yeast when I had trich and got treated....think the antibio has brought it back, fingers crossed it is skin irritation).  If I still have these issues I will check with the doc and make sure I can just go directly to Boric Acid.  If you really have recurrent yeast those boric acid suppositories are the best (I've ALWAYS had yeast issues....only bv maybe once or twice in my life).  You can't blame yourself for this and try not to get to upset with the doc's, these tests aren't 100%.  I plan on always getting tested for everything from now on (assuming I'm sexually active....even if it's a monogamous and "safe" relationship).  Did you know you can even catch trich from a wet towel?  Strange but true, I think that's what happened to me after sharing a towel with my bf :-(

OK you need to stop taking the meds.  You can over-correct, and then end up with a host of new problems.

Even though you take the meds one time, it can take up to a week to see total improvement.  I know its so frustrating, and you are sick of feeling so bad, but give this time, and see what happens.

Okay, I still have a discharge....... I took the medicine thursday night and it is now sat morning is this normal? Even friday i still had alot of irritation. I took 2 grams of tindamax. Could i be resistant? also, is it true that my sheets and jeans could reinfect me. I have washed all my jeans and sheets but if i still have it i guess i will have to do it again.

You're welcome, and I hope this works for you.

Thank you so much....

Since you have gotten yeast before when treating bv, then you might want to take the diflucan.  Don't use the terazol if you are going to use the diflucan.

If things are all irritated, and I'm guessing they still are, then pill forms might be best.

Also, this is just like flagyl - don't drink alcohol on it, and you might want to take it with food, and its best to take it with a full glass of water.

Thank you so much for replying. He just said that the wet prep's are only 65% accurante and they can miss alot of stuff. I didnt ask him about the tindamax kicking it right away but I am going to take my 1 dose of tindamax and am hoping it works. also, do you think  i should take a diflucan with it? to prevent it yeast or the next day. I even have a refill on terazol. I need this to go away it is very painful. Thank you so much for your reply.

Good question, and its likely you will never know exactly when you got trich, although usually when they test you for bv and yeast, they test you for trich.

Its possible that all the meds you used slowed the growth of trich enough that it didn't show on a test.  

I agree - you'd think the Tindamax and the metrogel would have cured the trich.  That's an interesting one, and I wish I could help more.  Have you talked to your doctor about these questions?
