hi everyone I'm still alive I just needed time out from this hell I'm in because of BV .

so I had been taking boric acid for 10 days twice a day.

they work very well I can definitely keep it at bay the smell I mean but when I got my period I noticed it was kind of fresher no smell in my blood and I thought I'd cracked it but 2 days now after my period and it's coming back I'm getting little yellow patches now that smell .

I'm really gutted but I was expecting this to happen deep down so I'm not destroyed about it like I would of been before.

I've the clinic next week so I'm not going to start boric acid again because it will make my bv tests be negative so I'm letting the smell happen .

I was on day 9 of no boric acid and today it's back.

hope everyone is ok .

    Hi Michelle I used the antibiotics from the clinic felt sick for a week. Ive taken to using salt water as I read somewhere it helps. I think you should keep going to the clinic until they find a solution I know it's frustrating
