Okay Ladies..I have a question. Have any of you had Re-occuring BV? I get it EVERY time I have my period. I am SICK of it. I cant keep up with the Clindeese anymore b/c its too expensive and my insurance wont cover it. I have tried eating a ton of yogurt, I have douched with vinegar and water (told to by doc), i have changed my diet....nothing. I just dont know what else to do or where to go....I feel like i am the only one with this issue as my friends all look at me like im crazy. anyone experiencing this too?

Hi there,


Are you absolutely sure that it's BV that you are getting every time?

I can relate......I have had re-occuring BV since October....this is the first time in my life that I have ever had it (I'm 40). My hormones were out of balance and I was put on a couple of different bcp to help balance me out..but I am STILL getting BV....initially I was given MetroGel...then I got yeast infections...back-forth...ughhh.....then I tried RePhresh...worked for a couple of days...then Clindesse...seemed to work for a few days...but it is back AGAIN......so I am trying the MetroGel again...and have a prescription for diflucan in case I get a yeast infection...I got desperate last week and tried the vinegar/water douche...obviousely has not helped...........


It has been the most frustrating thing to deal with for sooooo long.......I wonder if it is ever going to go away........


I feel your pain!!!
