So I've had what i think is BV for almost three years now. All of my tests at doctor came nack negative for BV, even whiff test, and my ph was relatively normal. But I smelled horrible!! i didn't have any itching except for every once in a while. and i just felt overall sicky, exhausted, etc. I completely changed my diet, took every probiotic on the market, sea salt baths, to no avail. i became a vegetarian about seven months ago in a last attempt to see if that would change anything. after the first two months, I saw alot of improvement but still smelly, etc. I'm now almost back to normal smell and discharge consistency !!!!!!! I started eating alot of hummus, tofu, etc. to replace my needed protein and i think this entire time it was a hormone production problem, as i got the BV right after i stopped breastfeeding my son. i breastfed him for three years. i think the phytoestrogens in the soy products that really made the difference. I've been suffering for so long and I'm so happy I've found something that might be the end!!
