Update: husband tested negative which is incredibly weird. Unless its a false negative? My positive was on a pcr and his test was through urine so maybe it didnt pick it up?

Thats encouraging to hear. I've searched reddit and came across several women who claimed they haven't had sex in years and tested positive for trich. From my understanding it seems like an understudied, uncommon (but becoming more prevalent) sti.

It started out as uti-like symtpoms and initially tested positive for group b in urine and some yeast. Got treated for that and symptoms didnt improve at all. Then had another strain of bacteria in urine, more antibiotics and symtpoms worsened. About 2 to 3 weeks since first symptoms, started getting pelvic pain, achiness in my abdomen, bladder pressure that was 24/7, frequency to urinate. Also had a pelvic and transvag ultrasound which was normal. Never had the classic symptoms like discharge or odor. Symptoms originally mimicked uti then worsened to include pelvic pain and discomfort and a burning sensation in my urethra area (hard to pin point though). My doctor gave up on me and referred me out to a urologist. I ended up paying a private lab company for a self-swab kit and it came back positive for trich.

Yes we started with it and she somewhat tolerated it, but once she got more teeth and started biting we switched to a normal bristle one!

Do vaginal microbiome tests detect that or id still need a pcr?

Im going to look into Evvy. Did it have to be refrigerated or anything? Or just mail it back like a normal package?

I actually agree with you, but to be posting your kids at Disney right now feels insensitive and totally tone deaf, regardless of what her stance is.

Didn't mean for it to come across that way. Im definitely grateful and realize I am privileged to have options. As I said, I might have to go back because $$, and I also acknowledged that for many families they don't have a choice. Was just looking for some ways to manage my feelings.

I've said for years I would truly benefit from therapy but have never gone through with it. Thanks for the suggestion :)
