Wrongly diagnosed with trichomoniasis?

[nikki1008]

So I went to my family doctor yesterday with symptoms that were very similar to what I had in early pregnancy with my son.  ((mild spotting, a lot of cramping, and sometimes yellow discharge)) She did a pelvic exam, and took some cultures.  She looked at one under the microscope, then comes back in the room to ask me when was the last time I had sex (it was the day before).  She goes back out, and rreturns to tell me she is quite sure I have Trich.  based on what she'd seen.  Now, I know that this parasite moves in the same corkscrew motion that sperm move in, so my question is this:  is it possible that she actually saw sperm and not this parasite?  I expect to here a definate answer once the labs return late next week.  But in the meantime I'm trying to stay calm before I start accusing my husband of sneaking around!!

2 weeks does seem long, but I have heard of longer.

yeh I've been reading up on it and found that its common to get it from towels, hot tubs, etc.  Aside from that, I really don't think my symptoms are consistent with Trich, or any STD - possibly a UTI but doubtful.  They called today to tell me it'd be about 2 wks to get the results....seems like along time to me!

I have no clue what she could have seen.
You can have Trich for years and not know it, also a lot of women have come in here and are positive that they have picked it up from other means then sex.
So even if you test positive it is not even close to proof that your husband has cheated.
