Yes the HSG is the Xray one to check your tubes and the lap is under general. I was thinking if you have suffered from VB for ages it might be worth a look into seeing as you have been ttc for a long time. But it sounds like its a fairly recent thing. Was only thinking that as it can cause tubal problems but thats only really long term side effects. It would take years for it to cause problems.
Maybe you could try the vaginal antibiotics. I had to use it for 7days straight daily. It was gross (as it melted and leaked back out and would run up your butt crack). It did help but didn't cure me for long. Better then the oral ones. I've had them before for the PID and they made me so sick.
Could you just pin point your O day and DTD unprotected just the once this cycle so your still in with a chance? DH and I did this on the cycle after my lap and dye when I was super sore as we didn't want to miss any chances.
Yes, I thought of DTD on the fertile days, but after my m/c I have no idea what the heck is going on, It's all guess work. Plus I have irregular cycles anyway. I also read the craziest remedies. One was to peel a garlic clove and pop it up there! And your body will naturally pop it back out when it's finished I think I'll stick with my Inner Health Plus and tea tree! I hope we can both banish it for good
I did read something about sitting in a vinegar bath. I think I heard something about garlic but not sticking it up there. That sounds filthy lol. Wouldn't it burn? The Dr told me the thrush cream will definately help sooth and keep it at bay but it wouldn't get rid of it completely.
Just wanted to say, don't knock the garlic and vinegar until you try it!!! I'm allergic to thrush creams (THAT was a long and painful discovery process!) and I have used garlic to treat problems downstairs ever since. I thread a string through it so it's like a tampon, and make nicks in it as that's more effective. Bathing the general area in vinegar gives a lot of relief, as does natural yoghurt
PumpkinZulu, How awful to be allergic to thrush creams, lucky there are heaps of natural remedies. I did read to thread a string through and take it out after a couple of hours. Well what do ya know, it must work! If it doesn't go away I was willing to try the tampon in yoghurt method (told DH and he thought I was kidding )
On a more serious note, I am desperate to be rid of it as i believe it contributed to my m/c. Studies in 1000 women showed that of all the ones that had early m/c, HALF of then had BV Up until last year i had never heard of it.
I really thought this would be our lucky break after the m/c, but that's not going to happen if we can't BD!!! Anyone know how to reduce the alkaline in DH swimmers? Can that even be done?
You can change the alkaline in sperm with diet..no idea how though! Dr Google it maybe?
I feel your pain with TTC, I got a really bad outbreak of thrush when we were TTC, it was so itchy I'd scratched raw and I was bleeding and in SO much pain And didn't know at the time that the creams were making it 10 times worse! to you and to mildez.
Thanks PZ! Sounds like you had a bad case Maybe I will Dr google for less alkaline sperm. DH eats just about anything anyway so that should be easy. It is almost 4 weeks since my m/c so I'm assuming I must be ovulating soon (I hope) so i really want this GONE asap! When I was googling the other night lots of women said that they have been dealing with it for 5+ years, that doesn't make me fell any better!!
