I was diagnosed with this last week and was given 2 Grams of Flagyl antibiotic. I told my boyfriend and he went to his doctor (thats where he feels comfortable) and his doctor performed a urine and penial analysis. His test came back negative? So he was not treated. We both have not cheated and have been together a year this month.

I am going back to the doctors today at 3pm because I dont think the medicine is working for me because as of yesterday I am having a thick discharge. ((Sorry if its t.m.i))

When I called my doctor they said I may need to take the treatment 2 pills a day for 7 days.

What do you think??
Is it normal that my boyfriend is negative and not medicated but I am positive and have to be treated??

I dated a guy for 5 years and we stopped using condoms. Low and behold, I got trich. I asked him about it and he came clean to cheating on me several times over the past year and he said that any of the 10+ girls could have given it to him. I still suggest using condoms unless you have a great guy. I thought I did but my world shattered while sitting in the health department.

I was just informed today from my doctor that I was positive for Trich. I was told at the end of last year that I have HPV. I am very scared because I have never had any STD's. My question is, could my doctor tell at the time she did my pap that I had trich? Could having trich at that time have caused my pap to be abnormal?

Men can't be tested for it that's the problem!

Chauntie88, just make sure you pay attention to your body. I kept have recurring issues with trich for months, constant doctor visits and flagyl, my doc even gave me a vaginal jelly that I had to use for 5 days when I had symptoms and 2/wk for 6 months. During this time I was with my boyfriend (who has long been my ex). He claims he didnt have symptoms but he took the meds (flagyl). Only to find out it kept coming back (with me). Um long story short, he was cheating with numerous women, so of course it was coming back. Well I have gotten rid of him, went to the doctor, gotten checked out and have been clean for a very long time. All the while I thought it was me, nope, it was him. The new bf, no issues, we are both clean. So just pay attention, cause as Susan Cody said they dont show signs.

So I went to the doctor and was prescibed a week long treatment of Flagyl to deal with the Trichomoniasis. Hopefully it works and I am very optimistic that this will all be over with once the week is over.
