Hi,
I'm 12w7d, I saw my Dr on Friday 2/23 for vaginal itching and some discharge-which has been going on for a week now. From what she seen it looked normal to her. She took a urine sample (NO burning while peeing) and also a swab. Now I have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday for results. My stomach today is making strange noises, it's almost reminding me of when I had BV, but there's no grey or frothy discharge like BV has. I'm stumped, is anyone else experiencing this?
Re: Vaginal discharge &itching
To answer your question, as for me, no, I've never had that.
If you'd like to stay and participate please introduce yourself in the intro thread, read the Read This First Thread, and jump in on the weekly threads. This question is perfect for the symptoms thread or questions thread.
Also, if you have a moment read the thread for Knottienumbers and please consider changing your screen name. The generic knottienumbers names are impossible to tell apart.
Good luck. I hope your doctor has good news for you and that you feel better soon.

We are not doctors, and are in no way shape or form qualified to give medical advice! Sometimes the only answer is, sorry 'boutcher luck, wait and see what the doctor / pee stick / test results say....

A certain amount of discharge is certainly normal during pregnancy, but talking about my experience with vaginal discharge doesn't do a whole lot to help this poor girl with <i>her</i> vaginal discharge, and I think we've talked enough about vaginal discharge for one morning. Er. Lifetime! Lol
Andplusalso this goes in the Symptoms Thread. Seriously.
*typo
I'm not feeling all that sorry that she has to wait 2 maybe 3 days to hear back from her doctor about what is most likely a simple infection if anything. That's just life. Sometimes you have to wait a little for things. She's not experiencing something scary or life threatening, it's just mildly unpleasant. And seriously, for reals, what are any of us going to be able to say to her to help her with her medical condition that her paid professional legally able to distribute medical advice doctor isn't going to say in like 48 hours from now? She already went to the doc. She's not stuck unable to see a doctor and forced to consult the internet because she's desperate. Answers, actual based on medical test answers are already on their way.
Also no one got snarky until OP got snippy herself in another thread. Once someone gets snarky themselves I say it's fair game to give snark back cause you get what you give sometimes.
Eta: those are all gifs not memes.
I assume all the OP wants to hear is "that's likely just a minor infection it happens. It's happened to me, and it was nothing. I have a healthy baby".
So here you go: in my first pregnancy I ended up with a few minor yeast infections, that just presented a a little bit itchy and some discharge. It was fine. OTC medicine was approved by my doc and fixed me right up. Hopefully it's as simple for you.
I would never tell someone it's nothing. If you're concerned, go to a doctor. If you don't like that opinion, get a second medical opinion. Sure, many of us suffer from MS, fatigue, breast tenderness and we reassure each other on those things. We know those are typical first tri symptoms. But I'm not about to reassure someone about something I know nothing about and risk her not going back to her doctor to get it checked out, especially if it gets worse.

When people post saying they feel scared and would like advice about how to stay calm, if I think I can help I do try. Cause I can offer opinions, thoughts, feelings. That I can give people. My opinions, thoughts and feelings don't help with medical conditions or concerns and could very well potentially hurt if I'm wrong and I don't want that responsibility!
That being said, I am uncomfortable with all the "ew, gross!" kind of comments and gifs. Has nothing to do with poor board etiquette on OP's part, it's not a random gross thing like a picture of her discharge, and this reaction would deter even regulars from posting "icky" symptoms - which pregnancy is full of! - lest they be shamed.
Not a big deal, just don't want anyone who might be a contributing member to get caught in the crossfire whenever we're just trying to have some good snarky fun.

Walk into a crowded bar and start yelling random stuff to people, and then see if you see more “rude” people.
The more vocal / GIF heavy are setting the tone for the entire board. And frankly, it’s an ugly tone to many of us.
I have lurked the other BMBs and they don’t seem to have as much BS as we do. I’m torn between repeatedly pointing out ugly behavior (it’s not cute, you’re not witty) and just calling it a lost cause.

It's really not that serious, imho. If anyone feels the need to carry on this particular topic, maybe the Read This First, Board Organization thread is a better place to do it. I personally, would be happy if I never saw this thread on page 1 again. :)
Edited bc it looked like my gif vanished? Maybe it didn't? Idk

I've 100% of the time noticed on every single board in the 3+ years I've lurked or participates that if OP snarks, GBCBs, or is otherwise nasty or AWish that it becomes open snark/gif season. 100% of the time, without fail, on every single board.
As far as people posting "inane details" in the symptoms thread goes, 1 well, that's what it's there for! 2 I really don't like when people White Knight with one hand and snark with the other. To say, they come here and shame people for not treating the OP with the tone or attitude they deem appropriate but then immediately shame anyone who posts "inane details" in the appropriate thread. That's saying one group is wrong for doing xyz but then doing the same xyz applied to the thing that bothers you. It's the same behavior.
This is a 100% free open to all site. No one pays to use this site. No one is forced to use this site over any other. No one had to use this board over another month, vs first trimester or second or babies on the brain or create their own private group. Anyone, absolutely anyone can start a private group on the bump. There's also this neat feature available to anyone using an internet capable device called Google. There's another resource known as your own doctor/midwife/nurses hotline. No one has to use this site or this board.
It’s not Thursday but my UO is that I appreciate a post about some frothy gray discharge that winds up on the main board instead of the symptoms thread. Sure, we’ve eliminated the need for “Please use the Search Function” posts and arguments but I miss the good old days where these posts hit the board (or what do you think about using drugs while pregnant?) get flamed, WKed and turn into a gif party!
I will even post the gif that is the appropriate response to my input:
