debs - I've had BV too - before I had Caitlyn. I was told it's nothing really to worry about

Well I'm admitting defeat for today. Been to Sainsburys and got a 2pk of their own. Just done one and BFN. Still lines on the other 3 hpts. I'm going to wait until the morning now and do one with FMU.

Good luck for the morning. Do you remember my faint ICs? They turned into BFPs within days.

Did you use a special camera to take the photos so close up? Mine doesn't seem to be able to do it in focus, although it's a 12mp, otherwise I'd take a pic and show you.

I have a condition called BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) and I've been put on a course of antibiotics!!!

Having quickly Googled, it doesn't sound like anything serious. About a 1/3 of people have it, and 16% of pg people have it (in the US).

(((Hugs))).

You need to set it to 'flower' mode, and half press the shutter to focus, then take the pic. You can upload onto https://www.tinypic.com and paste the link here:)

BV can appear and disappear without any reason, and around half of all women with BV are asymptomatic (do not have any symptoms). If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. Where there are symptoms, antibiotics may be recommended.
Treatment is effective in up to 90% of BV cases, although it is quite common for BV to reoccur. Around 25% of women will have BV again within one month and will need to be treated with antibiotics again.

Found this.......don't worry just make sure doc sorts you out!

Just a normal camera - I did put the macro setting on though and turned off the flash....

Oooooh, good luck Pinkpig :j:j:j

Debs, I know what you mean about getting the run around. I had my smear on NYE and the nurse took some swabs at the same time. She gave me a number to ring to get the results the following week. When I rang it was a completely different clinic, who then put me through to a clinic in my local area, but it was still the wrong clinic. So then OH googled the clinic I went to and text me the number, which was also wrong. Sooooooo .... I went back to the clinic and the person who took my swabs was on holiday. The receptionist said she had post waiting for when she came back, so she opened the post and said yes my results where there but she couldn't give them to me as she wasn't medically trained. I asked if I could see them but she said no, which I was a bit peeved about because she could look at them but I couldn't! Sooooooo ... she said she would fax them to another clinic and ask one of the nurses there to ring me with the results of the swabs. Soooooo ... then a nurse from the other clinic rings me and says they aren't allowed to give me the results. By now half the world has seen my results and no one can give them to me. Soooo .... when the person who originally took my swabs came back off holiday OH and I were having a few days away. I rang the clinic for my results and tried to leave my number, but the receptionist kept reading the wrong number back to me. I had to tell her my number about 6 times. I was stressed to bits by the time I hung up. Finally they rang back with my results and they were all clear. In total it took 3 weeks from the original swabs to getting the results.

My friend gets recurrent BV and has had 2 children. If you're concerned I would speak to your GP.

Been to Tesco today and they have Clear Blue digi PG tests £8.00 for one, or £10.40 for two. I didn't buy any as I've got bad pre AF twinges

amazon had clear blue digis 2 for £7.50 free delivery......i just got one set........dread to think how much we must all spend on tests!

Ok here are the pics.....

You'll have to bear with me and squint because they look fainter on the camera than in real life! The lines are halfway between the control line and the edge of the blue part.

I can see it better if I tilt my laptop screen backwards a bit.
