5 out of 5 stars

I would like to say first off, I SO LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!Now down to business. I too, suffer with BV. It is embarrasing because it just comes out of the blue. Today your fine and then the next day its like a fishy smell followed by this thick yet frothy discharge. I followed one persons suggestion with the tampon dipped in 3% hydrogen peroxide. I tried it and i'll be dangonit............it worked. I am a happy camper. Now i'll have to see how long it will last. Just to know I dont have to go the dr's office is great. No it didn't burn at all but i did feel it bubbling. Understand that each individual is different. As the 3% hydrogen peroxide dipped in the tampon worked for me, someone else a little more sensitive may have to add additional water to the peroxide.

Hi to all! I tried the h2o2 sugestion with soaking a tampon in 50% 3% h2o2 with 50% h2o and it was effective, however afterwards I noticed floaties in my urine. Has anyone else experienced this?

OK LADIES!!! Symptomatic BV sufferer for the past 14 years. My boyfriend and I have been having intercourse consistently (at least once a week) for the past 6 months and I just got a flare up this past week.

I'm just tired of it. The constant changing of pantyliners...and that's AFTER you've decided you have to stop using tampons to mask the smell because of TSS.

SO I FOUND YOU. As long as I've suffered with this, I never new it was so common. TONIGHT I WENT AND GOT THE LACTO ACIDOPHILUS, FOLIC ACID tablets (400mg) and a NEW BOTTLE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE 3%. IT'S THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 2009.

I WILL UPDATE TOMORROW, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT.

WISH ME LUCK.

I recently got BV for the first time. My doctor put my on doxycyline hyclate 100MG capsules, 2 a day for 7 days. And they didn't work at all! I thought they were when I got them, because it seemed like my discharge was decreasing... But here it is the last day of my prescription and it's just the same as it was when I started taking them. Now, that antibiotic isn't the normal recommended antibiotic... So maybe that's why it didn't work. I am going to make one more appointment to see what she has to say I think... Or should I just try this hydrogen peroxide thing?

It does seem much easier and straight forward... But I don't have a smell (I did when I first noticed it, but it's gone now) and the itchiness comes and goes, but it's very light.... Maybe I'll discuss it with my boyfriend and see what he thinks I should do...
