Not For The Squeamish To Read

okay so i wrote a little while back that i had been diagnosed with a bacterial vaginal infection in the emergency room, which they supposedly diagnosed me with by taking a swab from me and sending it to the lab for testing. and that is what the doctor told me that i had, and gave me a prescription for a medication that was verrrryyyyy expensive that i had to pay for out of pocket at walgreens. i didnt have any symptoms at that time that i thought were strange, and when i looked up the symptoms of that diagnosis, i didnt have any of those symptoms that i could tell. now here is where i am going with this, when you read the normal definition of discharge for early pregnancy, which i still am, because i am in my first trimester still, it says something different then what i have been noticing for the past couple of days. i am not hugely concerned at this point because there is no bleeding or spotting or anything like that, and i also have an appointment with my doctor on wednesday anyway, so i am going to mention to her that i was diagnosed with this a couple of weeks ago, and just want to make sure that it has went away, because i am still having discharge that isnt what is described in pregnancy, and i think that it was the same discharge that i didnt think was weird when they told me that i had this vaginal infection a couple of weeks ago. so okay, i have my appointment with the doctor on wednesday and i am going to mention it to her, and she is going to check me and that is it, sounds simple right? well, my boyfriend is supposed to be going with me to my doctors appointment, and i have always felt weird discussing things and issues that can occur or are occuring down there in front of a guy or to a guy. and i am sure that he will be in there with me the whole time. so that is going to be really awkward for me. and i know that he has been looking forward to going with me, especially with me being diagnosed with the tear in the placenta, i know that he is going to want to know first hand what the doctor has to say about it. and i know that i have to mention something to the doctor, and make sure that everything is okay with it. what i am probably going to do i guess, is remind her that i was diagnosed with that (i say remind because they have my medical records in my chart from my emergency room visit), and ask about doing a followup test to make sure that it is all gone away, and see what she says. if she doesnt seem like she wants too, then i guess that i am going to have to bite the bullet, gulp, and just mention that i had noticed ....... and tell her about what i had just said, in front of my boyfriend. double gulp. that will be awkward for me. but i definetly want to make sure that everything is okay, and also if it isnt normal and it gets worse, especially being that i dont have insurance at this time, i dont want to have to go back to their office, and spend more money that we dont have. so yeah, gonna have to grow a set of balls. ugh.
