In late August/Early September, I got antibiotics for BV. About a month later, I was having the same issues and it even caused me to bleed. I went to the doctors and they said that I had bv again and that the inside looked irritated and caused the bleeding. She put me on the gel antibiotics. The bleeding stopped and so did my symptoms. About 2 weeks later, I was having symptoms of BV again (excessive discharge & foul odor). I was so frustrated and asked for suggestions and someone suggested boric acid. I was looking at reviews and everyone said it helped them so much and at this point, I was desperate! It’s so embarrassing so I tried boric acid. I took it for 2 days and my symptoms went away so I stopped taking it. I was so happy for about a day and then all of a sudden I started getting spotting which turned into light bleeding. I called my doctor after a week of bleeding and she told me that she doesn’t recommend using that and that the bleeding is something that I’m just going to have to ride out. After more research, I’ve seen so many women say they’ve had bleeding and I wish I would’ve looked more or asked my doctor about it before trying. Its been spotting, light bleeding, and then spotting again back and forth for 3 weeks!
If anyone has tried boric and had this happen to them? If so, how long? I’m just so beyond frustrated at this point.
