    i would wait. Give yourself and body a break. when you start having a lighter flow then id start again. Continue taking oral probiotics. i think giving your body breaks is important. ive been bv free for about 6 months now.

      i just started taking the vaginal probiotics two days ago, thats why i dont really want to stop as soon as ive started because id like the smell to have gone down by the time my period is over.. and it just started yesterday. but if anything ill just wait till the flow is lighter. and congrats ! thats amazing, hoping for the same results
