And unless I was not taking them often enough, it didnt do a darn thing. I'd read that bee propolis is supposed to be a natural antibiotic. Dunno babe! i wouldn't personally buy it again, but I only spent a few bucks on it anyway. -------------------- Faith is hoping for and believing in things you cannot see!

Tea Tree oil is working wonderfully for me.
The Flagyl vaginally, did not work. I don't think the pills I got that came in a foreign language, and were yellow, and DID NOT say Flagyl on them, I dont think were good. But, I have used the Tea Tree oil, made my own suppossitory, and put it up there a total of 4 times now. Had sex on Sunday night and no smell. And used one that night after sex, and still no smell. No discharge at all either. Obviously, this is not a cure. But if it's something I can use that will keep it away, I'm going to keep doing it. |

I am on Vit C and Garlic - among a slew of other vitamins. I don't know if they help but I would like to think so. At least I feel like I am doing all I can do, ya know? Not sure about the other supplements.......let me know how it goes though

Okay...so I am on like day 11 of the oral Flagyl. I had some discharge while on it. I called the Dr after about a week and she said it sounds like ovulation given the timing AND the fact that the discharge didnt smell.
And I, being naive and simply TIRED, bought that. But now I have this discharge a few days later. Its white...almost looks more like yeast than the BV discharge. Any ideas? It isnt BAD but I feel really dry down there- which is kinda new. uggh. so frustrating. Do you think its yeast or BV? theres no odor and only a little discomfort. not like before...and yes, i am still on the Flagyl. I had 2 weeks worth.... -------------------- "Insanity is the only sane reaction to an insane society.” -Thomas Szas

Just wanted to point out that I was fine for 2 whole days after using the boric. Decided to have sex, the hubby was dying to do the oral thing and VOILA!!! Le olde symptoms are back. Shoved a few capsules up there tonight. WE'll see what happens tomorrow. Supposed to go pick up my flagyl from the post office. I think I'm going to need to use that for a week instead of just the boric for now. And stick to using boric right after sex.
Could the bacteria in his saliva be a trigger???????!!!! WTF? Sorry to be graphic ladies. I'm seriously wondering if this is a problem. Anyone ever thought about this? -------------------- Faith is hoping for and believing in things you cannot see!

QUOTE(lovelife2215 @ Dec 18 2007, 08:04 AM) PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME! i've been having issues with a smell & i have NO idea whats going on because i'm so clean & i've never ever had issues with smelling strange or bad. For the past 7-8 days after my period i've had issues with a foul foul smelling discharge that is present when i wipe myself & i can kinda smell it on my underwear. However, it isn't discharging on my underwear. furthermore the discharge is usually cloudy with blood in it & a few times its been just bloody. once or twice i've had a burning sensation while urinating but it hasn't been the biggest issue. i just am scared to death i have an STI or STD. idk how bad the smell is really because my bf & i have had sex twice now while it's been affecting me & he didn't seem to notice however i do & i cannot stand it. PLEASE can someone offer me ANY advice or any insight as to what it may be?! Go to the doctor ASAP and use condoms with your bf since you have blood mixed in with the discharge. Sound like you have an infection but we would have no way of knowing because most of what you are saying could be anything from an std to BV. Hope everything works out for you. |

If you've never had any of the symptoms before, you should definitely go see a doctor to rule out BV, yeast, trich, or any STDs. |

Hi ladies. I am on day 8 of 14 days of Flagyl. I feel a little better overall but still have some symptoms. Should they have cleared up by now? Do you think, given the holidays, I should ask for something else just in case or just complete this course of meds and hope for the best?
I just really want this out of the way by christmas with all the traveling and everything we need to do....and was wondering if a cream + the Flagyl would be more efficient?? -------------------- "Insanity is the only sane reaction to an insane society.” -Thomas Szas

QUOTE(chantelhugo @ Dec 16 2007, 07:08 PM) Hi everyone, So I am on my third day of Flagyl. I've noticed an almost "garlicy" odor. Is this normal?? I am taking Lacto. Reurti as well. I am a bit itchy also. Should I insert Boric Acid while on the Flagyl? I really hope this works to get rid of the infection, and then I will find ways to maintain it. It's day 3 and things haven't cleared up too much....was anyone else in this situation? Hey Chantel...are you on the oral Flagyl or the cream? I am on day 7 of the oral Flagyl and still have discharge. I am kinda itchy at times but nothing like before. i would def give it some time...it did help me overall and hopefully will get better (I have another week's worth). I tried the boric acid and to be honest it helped alot with the symptoms (like the itching and burning) but I tend to be really sensitive to all that kinda stuff to decided to hold off for now. It was gentler than monistat though by far. -------------------- "Insanity is the only sane reaction to an insane society.” -Thomas Szas

QUOTE(jularee @ Dec 15 2007, 02:46 PM) glad to hear you're feeling better! i'm actually doing really well. i just finished a 10 day course of flagyl. i'm about to start taking femdophilus and primadophilus reuteri to replenish everything. the smell is gone but i still have quite a bit of discharge. i'm thinking about giving the tea tree oil a try to see if it helps the discharge. i'm keeping my fingers crossed!!  Ya I still have the discharge...wondering if it will EVER go away. I think I have 3 more days of the Flagyl and then thats it. I will prob go back to the dr to let her examine and see if its gone (but with the discharge I am not sure it will be?) Anyway, glad you are doing so well. Thats great.

QUOTE(jularee @ Dec 14 2007, 09:30 PM) yeah the bacteria that causes UTIs and kidney infections is usually different than the bacteria that causes BV so flagyl probably won't treat the UTI. hope you feel better soon. Thanks sweets I feel a little better today. How are you feelin?
