Lactobacillus low on EMMA. Which vaginal probiotic?

Hi all,

I have been given my EMMA results which show lactobacillus to be on the low side, and I have been advised to start vaginal probiotics for 2 weeks.

Does anyone know where I can buy these from, and which are good quality?

Also finally has anyone had success after probiotics after multiple failures?

Many thanks

yes, I’m sure it helped me in finally having a successful transfer 😊 When I was looking for probiotics though (June last year) it was really hard to find them - most had to come from Europe 🙈 The clinic should have given you a list of ones to take. From the list I was given the only one available in the UK at the time was Canesflor (which takes several weeks to get through as a course) but worth checking again. I took Muvagyn, which is a 10 day course and I had to order it from Europe. But - I would say ask your clinic what they recommend. I ended up having to delay a transfer because I couldn’t get hold of them quickly. Best of luck with it all x

Like above I couldnt find much so had to order online but ended up going for the Canesflor. You take one a day for a week then one for 4 weeks aftwr so does take a month to finish but hopefully enough time before your next transfer x

Lots of good probiotics for your gut available easily that you can take with lactobacillus so I did that too to give my body an extra boost!

I also took canesflor and I just took one every day as per my doc’s instructions.

I am fairly positive it resulted in our successful pregnancy as I fell pregnant naturally in my next cycle, after 2 miscarriages 2 years apart.
