Well I saw my gyn today. She saw nothing, and the test for bacterial vaginosis was negative. She is testing for chlamydia also, but that is just because she wants to cover all the bases. She said everything seems fine but she gave me a prescription for Metrogel just in case. I'm worried that I might end up with a yeast infection from this stuff. From what I've read I know this is a possibility. Is it worth it to take it "just in case" and risk a yeast problem?
