Boric Acid while TTC or prego?

carebearcustis

Hi everybody,My midwife has prescribed me boric acid to insert vaginally to keep my pH balanced down there and help fight BV infections, which I've been battling for over a year now. She instructed me to use it 2-3 times a week at night, excluding my fertile week. I have read mixed reviews on other chat boards about how there are dangers to using boric acid during pregnancy, and some resulted in miscarriage. Does anyone know anymore about this, or about using it while TTC? Also, do you think my BV problems are contributing to our trouble TTC? (15+ months). Thanks!

I have a friend that used boric acid through her TTC journey (even during fertile week) because she had recurring BV infections, she conceived and stopped the boric acid, her infections went away during her whole pregnancy, she has a healthy daughter who is now 2 yrs old - the infections did return as soon as baby was born though.

Thank you for your input! All I wanted to hear. : I posted this on another board too, and your reply has been, by far, the most helpful. Thanks again!
