This might be a bit of a rant but I think you are the only ladies I can talk to about this. I've mentioned before that I've been having terrible (and embarassing) trouble with recurring bacterial vaginosis. Fortunately DH has been extremely supportive even when various doctors haven't been. Today I stumbled across various studies that link BV with vitamin D deficiency. In October, a thorough doctor discover that I was severely deficient. I started on three times the recommended dose of vitamin D (doctor prescribed) and only realised after reading the articles today that my BV symptoms only came back after dropping back to the regular dose last month. I almost broke down in tears of relief that I might have actually found a reason for this awful affliction that just keeps coming back. I have been in tears in front of doc after doc because I take every precausion they told me to and it is still coming back. DH doesn't understand how potentially life changing this is for me and I don't have anyone else to talk to about it (way too embarassed!).
I'm thinking about kicking up my vitamin D supplements again. It is ridiculous as I live in an unbelievably sunny place but it is a conservative culture so my limbs are covered most of the time and there's heavy polution so getting natural vitamin d is too hard.
Got a doc appt to discuss on saturday so fingers crossed (not the same great one who was so thorough unfortunately
(Phew)
Thanks for letting me vent!

i am on 8 cd today will start using ovulation sticks from 10 cd hope the ovulation happen soon..
Newbie, I feel for you - I used to get BV A LT, too! Never as bad as what you described there but I know how annoying it is. So I'm very happy you have found a likely cause and solution - I had no idea w Vit D deficiency could cause it!

Hi ladies,
I seems like i haven't posted here in ages. Welcome to all the new ladies
i hope your journeys are short ones.
Emma, i'm glad your focussing your attentions on a new business venture, i hope it's going well and helps the time pass quickly. Good luck with your next appointment, I hope they start to give you some answers.
Newbie, sorry to hear about the issues that have been stressing you. You were lucky to have that thorough doctor and find out about the vit d. I hope it squashes all your symptoms.
Hope your enjoying the honeymoon lola!
So I haven't posted in a while as I was fustrated with my lack of af and spotting. So the last episode was around what should of been ov time, very light. I brought a couple of tests and intended to hold out until next af was due. I caved and tested before after work one day, bfn. Time for af came around, I got more spotting around 4 days of it. So I was ready to book a doctors appointment, try to find out what is going on. When I woke this morning I thought well, I have another test let me try fmu so i'd be able to give the doctor a recent test date. I tested and bfp, i was soooo shocked after seeing bfns the last times. I had convinced myself I wasn't but just couldn't understand why af was missing.
Sorry for the extended post, but definately wanted to share with you ladies. You have been so good providing advice and listening to my fustrations. Thanks

Ylanda and mixem and other ladies... Mixem's post almost convinced me to buy a pregnancy test today! Lol! Guess I'm still doubting my experiences this month. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the pharmacy only had a dodgy brand so I decided against it (wish I could get reliable brands!). Docs on saturday so I can wait!
Yay again mixem. Thrilled for you.

Thanks ladies,
Good luck for sat's appointment newbie.
In response to the questions, it may have come across as calm and collected but believe me i was in shock. I had really talked myself out of it being possible!! I am of course pleased and happy though. My OH had left for work already so i called him to tell him the news. I think he suspected it before now! I'm not sure how far along i am but according to my last af i could be about 9 weeks. I booked a doctors appointment but its in two weeks, so guess i might find out more then. The journal, i don't know it's still sinking in so maybe after my appointment.
Have a good wednesday. x
