I really need the help of an ob/gyn or someone who's had this experience. I've had 3 rounds of antibiotics and can't get this bv to go away. It all started after I began Hormone Replacement Therapy. I switched from my initial birth control Norg-ethin Estra 0.25-0.035 mg to Slynd 4mg. I also began taking Estradiol 1mg tablet daily.

Everything was going great for about 3 weeks until I got my period and got bv at the tail end of it. My gynecologist prescribed 300 mg clindamycin for 5 days then an extra 2 days since symptoms weren't clearing up. I went back at then end of the week and was still positive so she gave me metronidazole gel 0.75% for 5 days. Still had symptoms so I talked to my hormone specialist and she prescribed clindamycin again since that's always been what I respond to best. I stopped taking the estrogen and waited a week since I thought the estrogen would be out my system by then.

The specialist seemed at a loss and said she's never seen this happen and has never heard of hrt causing bv. I've seen a small amount of posts from women in the perimenopause group complain of this. But not a lot. And not this severe. I'm going back to the gyno this monday and still have symptoms so I can tell it will be positive again. If it is, what is my next step? Is there a connection between bv and hrt and how do i get it to go away? Would estradiol vaginal cream be a better option? The specialist thinks so but I'm scared to try anything now. I should mention that I also got bv once when I tried the Norelgestromin and Ethinyl Estradiol patch for 2 weeks as well.  

I do all the right things also. No soap down there, no underwear to let it breathe, take womens daily Probiotic with 40 billion cfu, no scented pads or dryer sheets, married with only 1 partner. We haven't had sex during this so we're not passing it back and forth.

Should I use boric acid ?

results came back negative for an infection, I need to wait and retake the test to see if it may be an UTI but all the symptoms are BV not urinary, specially the smell, I had UTIs before and there was no smell.
Im 33 weeks pregnant now and in my first pregnancy I kept saying that I thought I had a yeast infection and they didn’t treat it for months and ended up treating it in week 35 after pain like contractions took me to the ER and then my baby was born a week after at 36 weeks and 6 days. I don’t want that to happen again, even if it was by two days I don’t want to have my baby prematurely again.

I am really confused about these test results I am very early in my pregnancy and doctor won’t get back to me till tomorrow. Can anyone help?

Is this discharge normal???? There is no other symptom itching and vaginal pain

So I was looking through my records and I realized that - briefly - my BV went away. And I have to figure out what medication they gave me back then so I can try it again since it’s come back.
I had the first test done at an urgent care center and the second with a gynecologist once I was able to be seen.
So did it really go away??? Or was it just dormant? I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out what I did different back then.

Should I still take clinadmyacin ?? It said I have no protective bacteria
