    If he’s uncircumcised it could definitely be him, then again if you had it and slept with him maybe he has it too and you both need to take treatment.

    There is a post from member Hon777 that I actually have done. I am on day 6 and have noticed that the smell is gone and discharge is mostly going away. I noticed he posted another similiar one today changing the cranberry juice to sugar water which he did in his first post suggest that I add some sugar to the mix if I wanted but I didn't. Not sure if it has completely cured me but it seems to be working somewhat so far. Here are the instructions if you don't find the post:

    BV remedy

    Day 1

    1x45 billion CFU probiotic capsule

    1 teaspoon cranberry juice

    Day 2

    2x45 billion count probiotic capsule (or total CFU of approximately 80-90 billion)

    2 teaspoon cranberry juice

    Day 7

    1x45 billion CFU count probiotic capsule

    1 teaspoon cranberry juice

    Instructions:

    Open capsule and tip out contents into a small dish.

    Mix this with the juice.

    Get a tampon, twist and remove the back half (string end).

    Use this to soak up the mixture. Ensure all the probiotic is on the tampon.

    Remove the top half.

    Insert

    Leave for as long as comfortable up to 8hrs. Preferably overnight. Spray vinegar, cider vinegar or lemon juice on underwear.

    Notes:

    Make sure that your probiotic has multiple strains. The more variety the better, it's almost impossible to test for every type of pathogenic bacteria in your culture and every woman has unique flora. Certain types of healthy strains may combat certain pathogenic strains. Take a look at formulas that are created for women. Ensure the probiotic is shelf stable; try to avoid the brands in the fridge. Ensure the CFU count per capsule is between 30-50 billion.

    After this, you'll be free to have unprotected sex and periods should not affect you. All I ask is that you let me your results.
