What causes a bacterial infection and can it keep you from concieving?
My husband and I started TTC in August, and when I started bleeding, I assumed it was my period. However, I spotted for about 2 weeks, and for about 2 days of that, I was bleeding severely. I started thinking maybe I had a miscarriage and made an appointment with my gyno. When I went in, he did a pelvic exam and said I had a bacterial infection and gave me some antibiotics. He said the spotting and the heavy bleeding was probably due to the infection.
What could have caused the bacterial infection? And could that have been the reason I didn’t concieve, even though we had sex when I was ovulating?

Many women get bacterial infections.
Our vaginas are full of bacteria that are helpful to us, and sometimes this balance goes awry.
I get frequent bacterial vaginosis, it is just something that I deal with when it happens.
It often takes longer than one month to have a baby.
NORMAL, health couples are told to expect it to take up to one full year.
