Bv has ruined my life.

Posted , 6 users are following.

bv is ruining my life. after finishing treatments and feeling as if there is no odor. I decide to engage in intercourse again. only to have my man to tell me that there is still an odor. at this point I just want to throw my whole vaginal away or jump off the bears bridge. how can I ever expect to have a normal sex life if I can't even smell when my vagina has an odor. how many men will I have to explain to that is not my fault, my vagina is defective

    nothing worked off the doctors for me either .

    I resulted to boric acid for 2 weeks and I'm definitely fresher but I still smell in the night because I only smell it in the morning it's over night that's a issue but without being to graphic I use my finger to smell in my tunnel and its clean no smell .

    I went to the gum clinic and they did a ph test and I was fine and they said they couldn't smell anything during the examination so fxxk knows.

    if you haven't already try boric acid it certainly gives you a cleaner vagina inside the tunnel .

    but I'm sweating with my bum I've a big bum these days and jeans make it worse

    so I think that slight smell I do have left is due to my bum and not using anything but water on my lips I think the smell along with a bum sweating and outside vagina not being masked by products is the smell I'm slightly having is down to that .

    I bath twice a day anyway I'm very very clean this is why I'm getting bv and have suffered 10 years in total on and off but this bout has lasted 3 years with no rest other than boric acid .

    I also use a pessary once a week to keep it in check .

    you've morning to lose if you try boric acid its certainly helped my bv by 80% .

    It's not nice your partner has said that to you but know we all here are going through this and you're not smelling for any other reason but bv and you're not alone .

    I've smelt myself during sex (3 years ago now)

    I know how you feel .

      yes thats the only thing that works for me i use them once every other day or in three days . it keeps it at bay.

      I use them when I smell anything funky .

      they do give me fresh periods after using them a few days before I'm due on my period .

      do you have sex using boric acid ?

      I haven't had sex in 3 years last time was a one time thing and I could smell it .

      back then I didnt know nothing about bv until I came on here and I try everything that works for others but it has cost me a small fortune .

    yea I agree it's the only way to keep fresh .

    I hope we don't end up getting immune to boric or the suppositories I use in the UK.

    They're very expensive I got my 30 bottle from Ebay boricapp in obviously in the UK I pay £13 for delivery because I get them sent from America.

    someone on here told me this brand worked for her so i purchased a 30 bottle.

    I use 2 a day for 1 week and then 1 a day for a week then I got my period and my period was alot fresher and I lasted 5 days clean but then my vulva and lips didn't feel fresh when I was looking at my lady garden with a mirror for something i cant really go into but I lay on the floor and my legs bent and I got a not clean smell .

    so apparently I'm healthy with ph levels but yes I do agree my inside tunnel does not smell anymore but my outside parts do smell a little .

    yet when I use boric acid and suppositories I dont get that outside vagina unclean smell so I know I'm not ok fully

    since I started boric I'm a lot cleaner inside and no discharge in my knickers I just get a unclean smell but I've been under covers all night so maybe because I no longer use fresh products on my outside vagina just warm water now so maybe that's the reason I'm getting a slight pong .

    but again why dont i get that smell when I'm using boric acid ..

    pi$$ing me off tbh 3 years just fxxk off bv .

    I would invest in some pH strips in case you don't have a sense of smell. Anything above a 4.5 signals an infection like BV.

      where would you get these strips from please

    • Posted

      easy Amaz I wont say the full word incase it doesn't let me post but yea amaz on and look up ph bacteria vaginosis tests .

      boric acid has cleared my bv up so so much ,if anyone has tried everything else with no joy then I'd suggest trying boric acid at the least your notice a massive difference .

      I still dont feel like I did before this bout of bv but I'm thankful for the person who originally told me about bori cap suppositories.

    girl the best thing that ever worked for me i love them

    • Posted

      yea they're very good but i dont think it's good to keep inserting them .

      I'm using one a week for maintenance.

    • Posted

      yes I dont think we should use boric acid unless we're absolutely desperate ( a part from 1 a week maintenance dose .

      I'm sick of it all though

      I get my boricap suppositories from the US and the customs are opening them and then charging me for the privilege and tax also its p*****g me off lol

      oh the struggles ha ha
