Update: I got off my period and had sex same day. Next day have fishy smell and I feel really let down. Keep in mind this is after 1 week of Clindamycin inserted vaginally, probiotics and folic acid. So I have some probiotics and inserted 2 of them into my vagina today to try to help with this. Then I plan on using the hydrogen peroxide douche as soon as I get home to try to knock this out. I feel like I should be on more Probiotics. I might continue to take 2 50 million tabs a day and insert one vaginally at night. Will do that to tonight after H2O2 douche. Will keep you posted as to what is next.Replied By Netsirk (Dallas, Texas, Usa) on 06/09/2013

If I'm still taking my antibiotics (I have 2 days left of them and they haven't helped AT ALL) should I stop and try this? Will it interfere with the antibiotics?Replied By Tiffani (Atlanta, Ga) on 05/14/2014
I have had a bacterial infection twice within the past 3-4 weeks. The first time I took flagyl and this time I was determined not to. Two days after I first noticed the symptoms, I inserted VSL#3 vaginally before bed. The next morning I inserted another then put in a tampon because I noticed the smell was slightly still there. I removed the tampon around 11am (do not put in a probiotic capsule followed by a tampon) and noticed the capsule was broken down on the tampon with some of the contents from the probiotic on it as well. I went the entire day at work with no smell and no discharge! That night before bed I inserted another VSL#3 capsule. There was no more odor and no discharge. Through the following day there was a clumpy white discharge with no odor, I am thinking this was the contents of the probiotic that was not totally absorbed. So last night I did a H2O2 douche to flush things out. I used 30ml of purified water and 30ml of H2O2 in a 60ml syringe. I inserted the syringe vaginally while in the shower; without anything attached to the opening, as far as I could get it to go and emptied the syringe. Today I just feel super dry down there which doesn't surprise me. End result is no BV!!!Replied By Kim (Indianapolis, IN) on 08/11/2014
I have suffered with BV for the longest; no antiboitics worked so I am now doing home remedies. I find that the Peroxide douche to be very effective if you like lay on your back and hold it in for like 5 min; do this twice a day. I noticed that it worked but of course here comes mother nature to screw it all up; once I get a period, it comes back. So I am now going to take the Acido pills and folic acid pills, try eating plain yogurt daily. And also do the peroxide douche. I mean the smell is not soo bad, but it's there.
