You know, also, you should educate your boyfriend on the subject. It isn't an STD, he can't catch it and you didn't get it from anyone.

It's an imbalance of the natural combination of good and bad bacteria that exist naturally in your vagina. Likely caused by having some doctor shove a piece of metal and plastic into your uterus (I really wish I'd never gotten this IUD) and we, as women, do those stupid things for the men we're with... so they don't have to worry about using condoms, pulling out or getting us pregnant. If it was up to us we wouldn't pop pills and get shots and use patches and have devices implanted for their maximum convenience.

I'm not actually anti-male or anything but I think it's important for you to have your boyfriend's support because this isn't your fault.

OK, my 2 cents said (and none of my business of course) but good luck. :)
