Marcella, Is the vaginal discharge symptomatic. It may be that you have developed a yeast infection secondary to the antibiotic therapy you have been taking. Regarding the pregnancy, wait 3-5 days and retest. Regarding the antibiotic, wait and see what the pregnancy test shows. It is likely that the med you may have taken while unknowingly pregnant will not harm the pregnancy. The BV won't harm the pregnancy. If you do have yeast, it is safe to use the vaginal cream obtained "over-the-counter"... Lynn
