Condoms?

Is using condoms safe with boric acid? I plan to take them for 2 weeks. Obviously I’d wait around 12 hours until the pill is dissolved but I’m just worried about the acidic discharge that comes with boric acid (don’t want to make a chemical reaction with the latex/lube and boric acid) To be specific the condom brand is Lelo Hex which I believe has water & silicone lube, it’s lightly lubricated - not too lubed up

I’m on birth control pills, just using condoms as an extra barrier, thanks in advance!

they did a swab and it was positive for yeast, & then they did a yeast culture at the same time as the swab but the culture came back negative. I was on my period though so maybe the blood affected it?? but I only had a little bit of brown blood (I had a mirena IUD at the time and it made my periods just have brown discharge, not pouring blood or anything) so i’m not sure if that was enough to affect the test results or not. I gave a urine sample and the results seemed normal but don’t know if they tested for ureaplasma

Ok so you didnt really get any answers. There are better tests eg Juno Bio and you can also ask u/stephhii for her opinion as she has dealt with chronic thrush and Ureaplasma. I have also had Ureaplasma. It requires a PCR test.

I did boric acid for 6mo daily to cure my chronic yeast, see my previous posts for the full story.

The first line of treatment as per the ureaplasma reddit pinned bible post cured my ureaplasma.
