OK to take them together, but either can cause stomach upset: best to take tinidazole first, then wait 2-3 hours before the first dose of doxycycline. Also be aware of gonorrhea risk; very common in women with both trich and chlamydia. (Discuss respectful communication about STIs and common sense with your partner. She had no business waiting until after sex to tell you the situation.)
