I go next week to get my group B strep test, does anyone know if it is okay to have sex the evening before getting that test or will it affect something with it. My fiance will be getting home the night before my appointment and he has been gone for 6 weeks so I would like for me and him to be able to have sex but I was unsure of whether I could since I am getting this test done. Does anybody know?
It seems like I read not to have sex 24 hrs within the test. Just wait to have sex to be on the safe side. Or else they might make you come back (and charge you) for another test.
I don’t think it’ll make a difference if you’ve cleaned yourself down there. If you come up positive, it’s not a big deal. I was postive for the Group B Strep and had to have antibiotics administered every 8 hours while I was in labor.
my midwife never mentioned one way or the other, and didn’t ask me before she tested me. i guess it’s unimportant.
go for it girl!
