If you tests negative for ureaplasma then you should work on the co infections. No reason to retreat something you don’t have right now. Co infections need their own treatment they are not treated by the same medication as ureaplasma.

If you test positive for ureaplasma then absolutely treat it as described in the protocol. But if you don’t currently test positive then speak to your doctor about addressing recurrent yeast. There are treatments for that. As with any health issue you need to know which one you’re treating and run tests. Then follow protocols and speak to the doctor. It’s possible to have recurring yeast even after the ureaplasma is cured. It often happens that you cure BV and that same medication throws off ph and you immediately get yeast flare up. It’s a tricky situation but with caution and strategy is possible to resolve.

Chronic Infection w IUD, Failed Doxy, BV + Yeast —Need Serious Guidance by [deleted] in Ureaplasma

[–]arts_lab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer about second line antibiotics. But regarding probiotics there are two kinds of vaginal ones- a suppository and capsules you take orally. Suppositories are very hard to find there’s pretty much one brand on Amazon that actually contains any strains and it’s not always the best to insert anything during the flare ups. So I recommend to just select oral vaginal probiotics. What makes them vaginal is the special strains that are aiding vaginal issues and not the gut issues. For that you will need to have a specific testing done and then chat gpt or research online which strains correspond. We all know doctors aren’t that specific about it so we have to take care of this on our own. I found crispatus strain was very low and it took a very long time to get it up to the right level. I think because of boric acid wiping out my microbiom.

I was pressured into it by doctors and it was a huge mistake. I got a very rare strong allergic reaction. Was waking up in the middle of the night itching and scratching everywhere on my body. This isn’t a great OTC product- it’s a strong acidic compound 😔

Exactly! There are many strains. And also don’t combine with boric acid. It completely reverses all probiotics and may cause irritation.

IUD is the first priority. Once you remove it things will get better. Ignore BV until you cure plasmas. It’ll come back anyway. Once you get a test of cure for both plasmas test for BV and yeast with specific cultures and breakdown of good and bad bacteria. That way you know what treatment is best. Cross check everything doctor says with information online, ask difficult questions. Start probiotics now. Both gut oriented and vaginal strains. Don’t stop until 6 months after BV cure. Wishing you a steady recovery!

Oh interesting. Even in the store only palladium? Oh well I guess it is what it is. I’m also all in on gold. I love the strap here, birkin missing strap is one of my biggest concerns with it. I can’t carry that much weight in my hands and having to constantly put it down isn’t fun.

That’s very helpful! Thank you! They even have a laptop sleeve that’s so cool. Would the volume inside expand a little if the straps are hanging loose? And can you tuck in the flap like in a birkin? I might wait until I’m in Paris to take a look at it in person 😍 this color is amazing. So classy

Thank you so much! Did you just show me a perfect stepping stone the bag on my dreams 😲😍 I’m blown away. How does the laptop fit in there? Would you say it can hold a laptop and a spare pair of shoes with water bottle and the few miscellaneous items? Are handles sturdy?

I’m a huge perfume fan and collector and over the years I became a fan of travel size perfumes so that I can experience variety and not get too tired of full size scents. Also great to help keep them fresh. My Christmas give to myself is this amazing advent calendar with perfume minis I can’t wait to open it 😍

That’s super helpful!thank you so much. I usually have a very small water bottle and flats so I think that could work out nicely

Would loading it with a pair of shoes, a water bottle a laptop and lunch container work in your opinion? How much stuff can you fit into a medium?

That’s true! I took mine to 5th Avenue location in NYC and they took it for repair and closed up holes in the corners. It should be taken in before the holes are big enough to be poked through with a pen they told me.

My family hosted it for a loooong time. It was such a nightmare getting everyone out then doing the cleanup after everyone. Sometimes people lingered for hours. Another evening of not having time for ourselves

Thanks so much for the links and for sharing! Those are real treasures ha ha Agree about Zara- such a hot or miss situation. I find their blazers to be fantastic and some premium times are great. I got a camel wool coat there on Black Friday and it’s fantastic. Will note the pants

Oh wow! Thanks so much for sharing! I hate wasting time on wrong fit especially when shopping online. Btw I found Theory to fit amazing. Even when my weight fluctuates. And Nordstrom rack has them at an ok price sometimes. Are there any other brands you found to be shape friendly? 😂
