BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) in First Trimester Treatments?

Hi all-

I went to my wonderful OB today due to some light brown spotting. I wasn’t too worried about it, but figured I would rather be safe than sorry. She took a look and everything appears fine, but I did ask her to do a yeast swab just because things felt a little “off.” Nothing major…just a little.

Well sure enough, I have BV. My OB told me that often cases like these will clear up on their own, and she would rather us be safer than sorry and not treat with antibiotics while I’m in the first trimester (so long as things don’t get worse in regards to symptoms, etc.).

With that being said…how have you all dealt with this outside of using antibiotics? Probiotics? Certain soaps? I recognize I probably won’t clear this without medical intervention, but I’m just curious if there are things I can do that can help.
