BV & pain?

I went to the doc and have BV again, which sucks. But I'm also experiencing abdominal pain just below my belly button and around my ovaries... does this come with BV? I don't even remember what I felt before, so I can't refer back. I'm asking because I'm also waiting to find out if I'm pregnant, but can't test for another week or so...

TIA

What's BV?

Quoting Mann Makin' Mama[BBM]:" What's BV?"

bacterial vaganosis.

Thank you. I knew it was bacterial something lol.

I don't know about the pain but you can soak in the tub (or a sitz bath if you prefer) with some apple cider vinegar (ACV) and it is supposed to help get rid of the BV by helping to restore your pH balance, also safe during pregnancy so no harm in trying.
Just make sure it is ACV with "the mother" in it.

I haven't had bv, but I did have an enflamed cervix once as me and SO were being a bit too rough in the bedroom, lol, but I believe bv can be another cause for cervicitus, and the symptoms can involve abdominal pain so this may be an indication of you developing cervicitus to go with your case of bv. Did your dr. mentioning anything about you having an inflamed cervix?
I hope you feel better soon.

is that a product you buy or do you make it? if you buy it, where can you get it?

no, she didn't mention it, she just said i have BV. she prescribed me something but said to wait until after i find out if im PG or not b/c it's not recommended during the first trimester but told me to use rePHresh OTC or whatever it's called in the mean time. i haven't started using it yet.

I'm sorry I didn't see this until now.You can buy ACV at walmart or any grocery store or you can order it online.It is best to always go organic with things such as this or have it with "the mother" in it.I myself have just regular old ACV and use it as a rinse (diluted with water) on my breasts to keep yeast away as I normally have a problem with my daughter getting thrush.Since using it I have no issues with yeast on my breasts.But like I said it is supposed to be good for BV so I would give it a try.
