I found this remedy to be a complete miracle cure!

1. I used a baby boogie puller ( I don't have children so for lack of a better name for it lol) as the douche... You know the one with the narrow insertion and the bulb at the end. I boil that everytime to sterilize. I filled the bulb with half HP and half water. Inserted nightly and layed down in the bathtub to let it work its magic for about 5 minutes. I did this for 7 nights in a row, although the symptoms were gone after day 2.

2. Take a multi vitamin that has 400mg of folic acid in the morning, as well as a repfresh pill (They are kinda pricey :( and can be found at your pharmacy. Said to have healthy probiotics that are found in a healthy vagina.

3. Take a 400mg pill of folic acid and acidiophilus capsules in the evening.

CURED! Feel normal for the first time in a year. Even after taking flagyl I still did not feel back to myself and the symptoms would reoccur after intercourse or my period. I did feel a little irritated down there after intercourse, so I did the hydro douche the day after and symptoms subsided. Have faith it works... Oh and as far as inserting acidiophilus... I tried that. Mixed it with water and inserted. Irritated me, so I don't recommend that! Good luck to anyone who reads this. :)

Hydrogen peroxide, B6/B12/Folic Acid combo. Worked like a charm. Hydrogen peroxide on its own offers temporary relief. But the combination of hydrogen peroxide and the Bs with folic acid works great. I also eat a lot of yogurt made from raw milk, eat sauerkraut that is home made and therefore has bacteria from lactic acid fermentation. I have not had BV since I started on these foods.

Worked Temporarily

I tried using Hydrogen Peroxide, folic acid and the smell only goes away for a while but it comes back. I looked at the treatment today at CVS and was really temped in trying it. I have noticed that once the smell dies down a little and I have intercourse, the semen causes the smell to come back so be careful about that.

Years ago I had my first experience with dreaded BV my doctor gave me an antibiotic, not sure what the name of it was. However it did clear up and I was lucky to have not had to deal with it for several years.... UNTIL about a month ago. I started a new relationship and bam!!! It came back, and it came back with a vengence!!

It was horrible!!! When it first began I experienced the discharge, itching, and slight odor during and after intercourse. I don't have great insurance coverage so I decided to try and let it run its course. Well, that never happened. The itching and burning went away on its own. But the discharge and smell were putrid. The smell became so bad, I started smelling it through my clothes and I know other people around me could too. Sex became something I dreaded... I could smell it so I knew he could. It was so embarressing.. I stumbled accross this site and all I can say is Thank God!!

I first tried ACIDOPHILUS pills. I took two by mouth and inserted one vaginally. The next morning the smell became even worse!! It wasn't a fishy smell, it was an undescrible disgusting smell. I had to go to work that morning.. Lets just say I couldn't wait for 5:30 to get out of my cubicle and go home to wash. On my way home that day I decided to stop by walgreens and pick up VH essentials BV Treatment Homeopathic Time-Release Vaginal Inserts.. They were $24.95. Pricey yes, but I was willing to try anything. I also picked up vitamen D supplements (i read some where on here that they have helped for some) I got the 1000 ui dosage. I first used Peroxide and water douche to clean out the nasty smell and took by mouth 3 of the vitamen D capsules. After the peroxide and water douch, the smell was remarkably improved. I inserted the vh essentials bv treatment as directed on package (only using half first) no more than three hours later the smell was completely gone!!!!!!!

It has been four days and Im still continuing to use the time release capsules as directed on box, taking 3 of the 1000 ui vitamen D, 2 ACIDOPHILUS (by mouth!! ) and douching with the h20 and peroxide, everyday. No more smell and no more discharge!!!! I cannot tell you how greatful I am for the posts on this site. I can finally be me again!!! my boyfried has even done his own research and decided that his seman may causing a reaction as well and we are using other methods regarding that.

That is what worked for me, and I hope it will do the same for someone else. What do you have to loose... But the SMELL. Good luck : )

I have been dealing with this for a while now. I do not have insurance and later found out my husband was on sex sites to meet local singles. Anyway, when this started happening my first thought was "This Jerk is gonna lose his face if I have a disease" Well, I went to the ER one night thinking I was having a stroke (I have high blood pressure and Im in my early 30's) It turned out to be an anxiety attack. During this visit I thought Well, Im already here so I told the Dr about the husband and we did a series of STD tests. All to turn out clean -Thank God! It was Bacterial Vaginosis. I have tried pills and gels the Dr's gave and it kept coming back. I tried these home remedies last night and by morning my stuff is clean!! Squeaky! Lol. Zero odor, Zero discharge, Zero pain. I was so stinkin happy. I was like "Ahh, Thank you God!" At first I was so scared of putting Peroxide and water in my Vag. I debated for at least ten mins. Finally I said Its worth a shot! I did it. Anyway, Im doing the regimen listed on here where you take 1 Folic Acid Pill, 1 Acidophilus pill and douche with Peroxide and Water. I even put a tampon heavily covered in Plain live culture yogurt and put it in for about an hour then removed right b4 bed. It's like I never had an issue at all. I'm really shocked!! I actually found a home remedy that really, truly works!! DO IT GIRLS!

I've been battling this for years. Didn't understand what was going on. I've been doing these treatments since Thursday evening and I noticed the difference right away. I'm so grateful for this website.

YEA
I found this website more than a year ago. I have been plagued by BV for years. Seems like everytime my husband and I are "active" a few times a week I would get an infection. It occured to me to search the internet as there are so many new sources of info. ANYWAY I tried the peroxide alone becuase that is what I had on hand. I douched 2X a day with 1/2 peroxide 1/2 water. IT WORKED. For the next few months if I ever felt any symptoms creeping back I would douche again, once or twice a day. It would stop it from taking hold if you know what I mean. Since I started this I have only had maybe ONE episode! It is amazing!!! I am free of it!

What I have found worked for me is doing the H2O2 douche first. Then air dry. I then take mix plain yogurt with cultures that have acidophilus and probiotics. I use a medicine dropper to insert it. I then soak a tampon in the yogurt or any left over mix and insert it. I leave it in all night if I can or when ever I wake up. I do the yogurt tampon mix for 3 days. This will get rid of it. However, after having intercourse you need to do the mix again. Especially, if it seems to come back after having sex. This will keep you from getting it back. I hope this helps someone. I know, it's been an ongoing battle for me.

I struggled with BV for 1 year after having it transmitted during a sexual encounter. It drove me insane and the smell was shocking. I kept getting rid of it but my partner would give it back to me. So myself and my partner were treated with anti-biotics 3 times which caused all sorts of problems with candida that I'm still struggling with today. Anyway, Olive Leaf Extract is what I took, after my partner and I consumed half a bottle, the BV was gone.
