Has anyone taken flagyl during the second trimester? I was seen yesterday and was prescribed the medication. Two seperate times I had some (sorry TMI) yellow discharge w/an odor but it's no longer there and only happened twice in the morning when I woke up. A sample was sent to the lab and some was seen under a microscope. During the exam the dr. said the mucous looked normal but when he came back after viewing under the scope he said he saw some bacteria.
The pharmacist said it's not really recommended during pregnancy unless there is no other alternative. Being that I don't have the symptoms anymore I'm wondering if it's safe to wait for the lab results to come back first. I'm on several medications including terbutaline; I was hospitalized four times for preterm contractions and am on bedrest. I've read on several websites that this medication is controversal even though it's a catagory B drug and that antibiotics aren't recommended for anyone who is at risk for preterm labor?
I\'d really appreciate any advice as I'm confused as what's best to do.
Thanks in advance.
