Yes - Group B strep is common - I mentioned that my gyn said so - in like 40% that are tested and the only time they test for it is at pregnancy... my point in saying it was that in about 25 people I have met online and family members, etc it seems weird to me that the people that I have known to test positive at pregnancy were all implanted.. I am sure there are plenty that do not have them... I thought it was a weird coincidence that I had mine removed approx 1 1/2 years after giving birth and they were full of mold, strep, staph, and other yucky stuff - black mold, etc., all were listed on my report from doc Blais'.... I have 2 cousins w/ implants that have had kids in the last few years and a cousin's wife as well - all positive and a good friend that got her implants a few months before me at the same place and was positive with both her children - one right before mine and the other a year after. the others were people I met online with the implants that were positive... my sister as well as sister-in-law, and numerous other family member that do not have them all tested negative. just a weird point I thought... never actually thought of it until someone brought up chronic yeast, polycyctic ovaries, and various uterus infections which were not sexually transmitted... I thought about it and realized that I had all of these and then some - all after I had gotten the implants and I had been seeing an Ob routinely since 15-16 for paps, etc. never had any issues until after 25.. then had several - 3 I believe instances of ovarian cysts, cysts and growths on my cervix that actually was thought to be preventing me from getting pregnant after we tried for several years after marriage.. those were not there before... they were removed and I was preg in 2 months. chronic yeast... just strange stuff - I have always gone to the doc as recommended and always gotten the paps on time, etc, and my doc has been the same for years... I have spoken to her about these issues as well... she has tried to hit the yeast hard w/ diflucan and cremes but the insurance always kicks them back so they never get the chance to work how she intends them... they are incredibly expensive to cash pay how she prescribes them and the ins won't cover... soooo frustrating dealing w/ ins and such... especially when you need the meds as the doc has prescribed as you have tried everything else... an endless battle there...

anyways - yes - B-strep- only an issue if pregnant if I didn't make that clear earlier.... hope it doesn't freak anyone out... just an observation here

Hi Shari,

I tested positive for it last year as well and was told that it is something

that isn't even treated. I was never implanted but have had many vaginal

problems through my life -- lots of yeast infections which alternate to

bacteria. My doctor said that it is due to pH changes in my monthly cycles.

I'm peri-menopausal so my hormones are pretty screwy, which I think drives

my vaginal and bladder problems. I have to wonder if some of the things

implanted women are struggling with are due to their weakened immune

systems, rather than the implants themselves. Of course the implants are

what weakened the immune system. I know a lot of women here detox but are

you rebuilding your immune systems with immune building supplements as well?

I take immune builders during the winter so I don't get sick and it has

worked for two years -- no bugs at all. Perhaps this is something that

could rebuild some of your systems so you aren't victim to so many different

viruses and bacteria.

I am not sure - I doubt it... as far as I know and as far as my doc told me they do not treat group b strep.. just something you have or don't have and it only is an issue during pregnancy/delivery... maybe they are treating it now as my son if 5 but I am not sure... need to get my pap in August so I will ask as well. maybe all docs are different too....

who knows... I know that is the only time it has ever been brought up to me... I asked about it as it freaked me out - they said it was normal- not an STD - lots of people test positive for it and it was only an issue at delivery time if you have a vaginal delivery for the hospital staff to know to look out for baby's eyes or give extra drops... something like that. I know if I had a C-section it would not have been an issue at all... I also remember bringing it up after he was born and they said it wasn't something they treated for.... at least then...

Shari, Is this Group B strep related to the condition Bacterial Vaginosis? I went for my pap?gyn appointment yesterday and I was told I it is not and STD, but a fungus. She gave me a prescription for Flagyl. I looked it up and I am not sure I want to take it. I am nervous of any pill that has peripheral neuropathy as a severe reaction. Although, I don't think I would notice if I had that reaction. I still have tingling and numbness in my extremeties from the implants. halvey70@... wrote: Kenda-all Yes - Group B strep is common - I mentioned that my gyn said so - in like 40% that are tested and the only time they test for it is at pregnancy... my point in saying it was that in about 25 people I have met online and family members, etc it seems weird to me that the people that I have known to test positive at pregnancy were all implanted..
