Still, I asked that he repeat the testing. And yup... GBS+

I'm sue it works for some women, but not for me. I'm okay with that. The whole GBS thing doesn't really bother me.

I agree that in the scope of things, if it is +, the abx dont bother me at all. It just caused a cascade last time due the PROM. If I was + and my water didnt break, I would not think twice about gettting the abx and going on like normal. My plan is to follow a protocol for good gut health and immune boosting prior to the test, and should it be negative, to maintain that protocal through birth. I am not trying to cheat the test, but would like to be legitimately negative, and would like to have a comfortable time line in my head should I end up in the situation I was before.

Sounds like a good plan. I checked out that link and the first protocol sounded reasonable and potentially really successful. The second plan, with ingesting silver, seemed a little iffy to me.
