A member asked:

I am taking metronidazole for bv. i am ttc and should be ovulating any day now. does this infection and antibiotic decrease my chances of conception?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BV: The metronidazole dosen't decrease your chances of conceiving. The data on bacterial vaginosis is less clear but no definite association with a lower chance of conception has been shown. We have seen higher rates of pregnancy complications secondary to BV however so keep taking your metronidazole and best wishes. Hope this helps.
