Ok ladies! After experiencing BV for 5 years and going thru multiple tests from by OBGYN that is male, I decided to see a CRNP, which is female. She immediately recommended a swab to test for Mycoplasma, which apparently not a lot of Drs test for. It was POSITIVE. she put me on Doxycycline for 10 days and I have been BV FREE for 5months! I've been waiting to post to be sure it didn't come back!

I will say this, my insurance didn't pay for the test and I $700 but after experiencing BV for 5 years with dr visits and prescriptions and feeling HOPELESS, I will gladly pay $700 to feel normal again.

I'd love to hear feedback or if anyone has questions. I know how you feel!!!

      Yes I do have insurance and it only paid like $90 on the test. I was so desperate to figure out what was wrong. I'm glad to pay $700. I was at a loss as to how to get rid of this horrible infection!!!!! I'm very very clean and having this totally baffled me
