Cervicitis, BV: Progesterone suppositories will not cause cervical inflammation or "irritation". BV itself is associated with cervicitis and might cause it; glad to hear you are being treated for it. Mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma are entirely normal bacteria in the vagina and almost never harmful; even if you test positive, they do not need treatment. Discuss with your obstetrician. Good luck!
