UPDATE: A setback in my fight with BV
My pH is back up to 4.7, & I am having a slight smell with discharge, but I just had to have a round of
Antibiotics for a UTI. I felt like I was taking poison when I had to take the
Antibiotics . The
Antibiotics didn't work on the UTI, gave me a horrible yeast infection that took 2 rounds of Diflucan & a round of Monistat to clear up (not sure if it's completely cleared up even). And now, obviously the BV is trying to come back. I'm feeling really discouraged, but I'm trying so hard to stay positive. I knew the antibiotics would disturb the delicate balance I had finally achieved, & so it's 2 steps forward & 1 step back, right? Thank goodness for the Biofem.
I wonder about inserting a capsule vaginally at bedtime. Surely the capsule that is designed to melt in the stomach will melt in the vagina. I may try it.
I just found a vaginal suppository that contains lactobacillus, HLC Cadaclear

I am going to order them, & see if they help. I would think that using the Biofem that raises the pH, which the lactobacillus likes, in conjunction with using the lactobacillus suppositories, would be a combination of the right bacteria in the right environment.
Trying to stay positive. Trying to stay positive.
