A member asked:

Is it safe to take probiotics while pregnant? i'm 6 weeks flaygl and metrogel hasn't worked for my bv so can i purchase and take probiotics?

Yes: Be sure you have bacterial vaginosis- there are tests that can confirm it.. You can use "rephresh" as directed- review this with you doctor. Also your partner, if male, can have a prostatitis and be giving you the bacteria.. Watch your hygiene and sexual practices- review them with your physician.
