BV?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi everyone! This is my first time visiting here. So I want to share my story and whats going on right now.
About 8 months ago a boyfriend visited and we had sex about 20 times in the span of the week and made the mistake of going back and forth from the front door to back and vice versa. I wasn't even thinking of it at the time.
Anyway, 3 months went by with no BV. I had sex with a new but old partner and he released in me. I had BV a week later, took Flucanazole treatment and ended up getting a yeast infection. Treated this as well. Honestly it cleared up. I’d heard of my roommate having BV, she received the cream you insert.
months went by - no issue. In June I had sex and it took a month but BV was back again. Did the same treatment, first for BV and then for Yeast. It went away. It’s been 4 months and symptoms still come and go. I don’t get so much the burning but I get what I call “pangs” if itchy feelings but it’s not actually itchy and then sometimes a twinge of pain. I took Probiotics for 2 months and this seemed to help a little bit. It’s not super bothersome to be honest. I don’t notice a smell or a discharge like i did the first two times i had BV + yeast. I just don’t know...
I also want to insert I was on Depo Provera for a year, and ended in it late August- early September - because it WASNT WORKING. Most of the time I was on it I was spotting. It was like I was spotting for a full year. My OB had to put me on a estrogen pill for a while to stop the spotting (it didn’t) I have no idea what’s going on. I want to go to the OB again but I’m afraid to find out I have it again and I don’t even know what treatments she will suggest. I want to try the insert medication if I need treatments again. My roommate said it was effective. Lucky her. She had BV once and hasn’t had it since.
On top of this I have always had issues down there. Imperforate hymen, severely heavy menses with clots. I’ve been on so many birth controls. I would try IUD but heard this can increase chances of BV. I have been tested up the wazoo because so have such irregular periods (before starting depo) I would only menstruate every 6-8 months for a week and it was like I was bleeding out (not to be too graphic.) I just want some opinions. What does anyone think? Is it BV? Is it something to do with changing/stopping birth control?

I’m sorry I would like to correct that I in fact use metronidazole PILLS. Flagyl. I also was prescribed the Flucanazole for Yeast! I don’t notice any kind of discharge or foul odors I have noticed that sometimes it smells like salted pretzels but not the east part of the pretzel more so just the salt. I’ve always had that kind of odor though. Like I said any help or opinions are welcome I just don’t know what to do aside from make another appointment with an OB and try the gel that you insert as well as probiotics and other things like that to try and come by there if I do indeed end up having BV again
