we are both in our late twenties and my partner and I have been trying to conceive now for the past 2 months. In the first month shortly after her fertile period, we realised she had both yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. It was treated immediately and the doctor said she did not get pregnant bc of this infection. In the second month we have tried again but nothing happened. What maybe the problem? Is it that she was not properly treated or is it that the illness messed up her system and she may need several months to get back to normal before conception can occur?? Anyone have an idea

I recently had sex with an infected person a few months ago, and I didn’t know it at the time, they didn’t either.
I went to the doctor the first time and was tested for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia and it came up negative, instead they told me I had bacterial vaginosis and they treated me for it. Three weeks later the symptoms were still there so I went to a different doctor and they tested me for all of the STD’s. Turns out I had Gonorrhea, so I was given antibiotics for it and they were supposed to get rid of it. I took them for about two weeks. After I was done, about 3 or 4 days later I had mild symptoms so I went back, the doctor told me to finish the Flagyl she had given me for the bacterial vaginosis, so I did. It has been about 3 weeks since I went back to the doctor. And recently there has been soreness on my vulva and its been a bit red and swollen. I was checking it out a noticed bumps, so I have been doing my research and apparently they’re normal to have. Im not sure if they were there before, I keep trying to tell myself I’m just being paranoid about it. They don’t itch, only occasionally, not serious itching or anything. I cant seem to pop them, I don’t think they’re blisters or anything, theyre kinda whitish. I have been to the doctor many times since this all started, and I cant afford to keep going back, especially if it is nothing and I am just being paranoid about it. Since after the first time I was tested the test came up negative that I had Gonorrhea when I really did have it, could the second tests have been false too? Could I possibly have something worse now? I haven’t had sex with anyone else since, so I know that unless the tests were false I haven’t gotten anything else that way. Does it take months sometimes for STD’s to get into the blood stream or would they show up right away? I cant afford to be tested for everything again unless its absolutely necessary. Could it possibly be herpes or HPV? All I know is that I don’t think HPV would show up in a blood test. I read that it only shows up with a pelvic exam. I had one with the first doctor I went to, but that was also the doctor that told me I didn’t have Gonorrhea when I did. I’m just nervous about it, and knowing me I might be blowing it out of proportion, but I just need advice. Should I get tested for all the STDs again or just go have a pelvic exam again? Could the soreness just be from masturbating and the bumps just be normal, or is it something serious like genital warts?
