511455 tn?1224183831 I've had it a few times in my life and it is common in early pregnancy. In fact I had it with this pregnancy. When I went for my 2nd doc visit I was told it showed up on my pap. So they gave me the nasty meds for it but the doc didn't want me to take it until I hit the 13th week mark. So I had to take the meds till they were gone. I'm not sure why it happens but if I had to guess it would be from not showering after sex.
Avatar f tn I also took metronidazole but was prescribed it vaginally! This was early in my pregnancy and I never had any issues with it.
Avatar f tn I just finished a week on it. Same here, bacterial vaginosis. I had it 3 times with my second pregnancy. It was miserable. Hoping I don't have to take that stuff ever again!
Avatar n tn Ive taken it with my 2nd pregnancy. My son was fine. Just drink lots of water with it. Youll be okay.
Avatar f tn I started taking metronidazole yesterday I took 2 pills that day... today I realized I haven't had my period this month. So I decide to take a pregnancytest before I start my second day on metronidazole. I took the test a 3pm and both test were positive. so I stopped the pills.I was wondering if the medication made my test positive or am I really pregnant.take another prego test? & when?
Avatar f tn Just an update, from taking metronidazole early on in pregnancy (aswell as antihistimines), I've had my 20 week scan & my little girl is developing / growing just how she should be ;-) Did you get sorted chick?
Avatar f tn I am 34 weeks pregnant and am very concerned about all these antibiotics (about 4) i took during my pregnancy, 3 were zithromycin z pack and one was metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis in my third trimester. For all these antibiotics, i received strong reassurance that they are safe to take to treat my common occuring respiratory infections. I am concerned. Is there anyone here who took many antbx during pregnancy and had a healthy child? AMEN...
Avatar n tn While its not often given in early pregnancy (if possible its better to use nothing) it has not been shown to cause any adverse reactions in humans.
3210905 tn?1345679491 Hello, Gastritis, fluctuation in estrogen levels, heartburn, postnasal drip, dental caries, tooth abscess are few other causes of metallic taste in mouth. Intake of medications like metronidazole, blood pressure medications, and thyroid medications all can lead to this symptom apart from the causes mentioned by you. The associated symptoms may help in arriving at a diagnosis. Seek medical help. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn ve been told by my GI doctor that my peripherial neurapathy is partially caused by the over-use of the metronidazole a antibiotic. I also have low levels of vitamin b1. my question is on the antibiotic metronidazole, Can this cause to my peripherial neurapathy be "corrected" after the toxin has finally left my body? or will this be permantent and get "worse" with time? what can I do to stave off the progression if so?
Avatar f tn At first they said I was 7 weeks..did an early u/s because I also have endometriosis and I measured 6 w1D. Ive had BV before..it seems like almost every time I get a pap I have...im not sure whats causing it. I tried calling my doc to ask questions but im still waiting for a call back. Before pregnancy they treated it with clindamyacin because Im allergic to alot if antibiotics out there ( mostly pinacyllan and cephalexin and anything with a base).
Avatar n tn Spotting can be very concerning in early pregnancy, but don't stress because it will only make things worse! A bacterial infection will definitely cause spotting. I had some serious spotting from an infection, is your medicine OTC? If so ask your OB for some prescribed medication that will clear it up quickly. Also, I wouldn't be doing a ton of anything until you figure out why the bleeding is happening, no lifting, and take it as easy as you can, and drink lots of water!
Avatar n tn hi, in two pregnancies, both miscarried early, i developed sciatica and peripheral nerve pain. it went away after the first mc several years ago, but not in 6 mos since the second mc. i've always had a moderate to high positive ANA, but after my last miscarriage i also had transient antiphospholipid antibodies and a mildly elevated sed rate.
Avatar f tn Went in for my normal check up and doc told me I have a bacterial Infection, She Prescribed me "Metronidazole". I was reading up on it and it says not to be used during pregnancy! Kind of worries me, any of u ladies ever had this stuff prescribed to u?
1472764 tn?1287588186 Has anyone ever used oral metronidazole for a vaginal bacterial infection? I'm on my 5th of 7th day and have developed a very thick clear to cloudy mucousy discharge. Is this normal. I know the gel form will pull everything out in a thick white chunky discharge but does the oral pill.
1949518 tn?1326609444 i have three small children and i had early pregnancy symptoms with all three of them and the recent pregnancy i had but had a miscarriage. i was thinking the same thing to about the ultrasound i had, that maybe it was to early to detect, but i had a vaginal ultrasound. anyhow, i dont really know.
