So how were you treated?
Hi I just wanted to add what helped me!
I have had BV for 2 years, not sure what caused it but I think it was either the birth control pill or my bf's semen (he came in me for the first time after I started the pill). Sorry TMI.
Anyway, I have tried EVERYTHING, as I'm sure most of you have. But a couple of weeks ago I started the coconut oil and tee tree oil regimen. I melted coconut oil in a pot and added about 7 drops of tea tree and mixed it together. I poured the mixture into an ice tray and placed it in the fridge. This method hardens the oil making it solid so its easier to insert in the vagina.
I did this 2 days before my period and continued to do it til the end of my period. Once my period was completely over, I stopped the coconut oil and tea tree regimen. I waited a day for my vagina to recover from the harshness of the anti-fungals, then the next day I douched with L. Acidophilus (a pill that I have crushed up) mixed with DISTILLED water. I read that faucet water contains chlorine and has a different Ph than distilled water so I recommend using distilled water.
I did this for 2 days. On the third day right now, have a certain but very faint smell, not sure if it's the pill or BV? Right now the discharge has completely gone away and the smell almost completely, there is a faint smell of something. I will give an update in 2 days!
I felt that this method makes sense.
I killed the bacteria that was overgrowing in my vagina, as well as the good bacteria, with coconut oil and tea tree. Then I repopulated the environment with L. Acidophilus, the good bacteria that keeps the bad under control.
For those of you who haven't found relief, give this a try!
Thank you for posting! I could not figure out why I got BV until I read your post. I have estrogen and testosterone bioidenticle hormone implants that are time released over three months, and I have been lackadaisical in taking my progesterone pills at night. My gynecologist told me it was obvious by the lining of my uterus that I have not been taking my progesterone pills properly. However she did not let me know that may have also caused my BV. Thanks to your information, I'm going to be motivated even more to take my hormones every night like I'm supposed to!

Hey bee18 I've been battling with a chronic bv infection for over 3months now and it's extremely upsetting. This post gives me some hope! I recently finished a prescription of antibiotics which I dont think help😔 I wanted to ask where your located? I need a good doctor, not one that's going to brush it off like no big deal and continue to give me drugs that are a temporary fix. I tried going to a holistic doctor and the oral drops he gave me only made me dizzy. Id like to try and take the homeopathic route if possible! (Even trying acupuncture next week) Anything at this point! Feeling extremely frustrated and defeated!!
Hi Bee18,
would you mind sending me in a private message as you have done for tons of other gals on the products you use for the 3-prong approach ecological. Have suffered with IC and pelvic floor disease and I wonder if your product mentionables would help that. Thank you so much in advance!! Allyson
