hi everyone I hope you guys are doing good .
my question is ...I've been taking proper vitamin c for internally .
but the last night I used the vitamin c pessary Saturday night on the Sunday I really had some discharge that smelt like ammonia /pee I've never had that before.
I've finished the vitamin c and I did have a tiny smell of bv but again it was pee smelling discharge not the usual bv fishy smell .
I've now come on my period....fuming its come 5 days early )
my question is do I use Tampax ( tampon)
or always ultra pads ?
I'm scared to use pads cuz a doctor told me it wouldn't help and it could not help using pads.
I've used a tampon for now .
vitamin c I doubt worked and now my period could throw me back to square one.
I've boric acid to try yet but I'll have my 6 day period and give myself a few days after ive stopped bleeding and see how things smell then but I'm 90% sure bv will start all over again.
The suppositories balance active and vitamin c has hushed the smell a lot but I guess it's now a waiting game .
thank you in advance comrades.

see i got told different off doctor about the pad tampons ..she said that it could be the amount of time that a tampons sat in there that has an effect on the ph so i use pads from now on and only tampon in emergency not that either one made a difference like lol mines been gone 3 weeks almost now no smell hardly any discharge it feels strange not having to keep checking anymore but so for so good with the clindamycin

that's good if you've no smell a promising sign plus you've had a period .
yea I guessed pads would be better
I've no smell though .
when I came on last night I woke up and few stains but they were baby pink similar to gavigsvon medicine or a pink highlighter pen .
I keep coming on early by a week sometimes so annoying .
yea the checking the knickers is a scary thing I'm always doing it and before I smell I've to prepare myself for the worst.
hard to do while on another heavy period so I'll smell the pads but it's hard to smell I'm guessing .
it's been weeks now you're good so hopefully you've finally cracked it just be careful with the triggers right clothes etc sure you'll be ok now .

I think it's down to personal choose, i don't think tampax will change your pH balance 😂 so I'd use them. I went to the clinic tonight about having my coil removed she wanted to check whether I have bv, lol I think I know. But as I used a bv treatment last night don't think it would show anyway. Had swabs taken away so I'm sure they'll let me know. She mentioned antibiotics but seemed no point as it could reoccur anyway. I've started on a priobitic yogurt and should get my probiotic pills at the weekend which she thought was worth a try!

Hello!
Good to hear that your smell is gone and will be gone for good! I think it's better to stick to pads scentless pads. I have a question did you take the Vitamin C orally or insert it ? Can you show me which Vitamin C you used?
Thank you

I tried to take a photo but as usual its saying it's too big 😫😫
it's called...feminella vagi C
it's the proper version for inserting inside .it has 250mg vitamin c and other bits to help and aid the prevention of BV
it's on Ebay and Amazon.
my period is fresher its helped either way its stopped the horrendous smell but I still get the odd smell but its more ammonia than fish .

it wont work still saying file to big annoying .
hopefully she'll find them to buy .
if your reading this...if you buy them buy a applicator because I was pushing them so high I felt them go in my cervix but on 2 nights I had one fall out and it was in my bed I had to push it back up and the following night I'd again put it up high but it broke in my tunnel and it was sore.
I found a old applicator and the tablets fitted it and the last night ( you've 6 nights )the applicator worked I had no issues .
they are pretty cheap .
I'm using towels period not smelling bad but the vitamin c helped the intense smell .
