Hey ladies...I was on a mission today. Went to Walmart and Target---no Boric Acid. Went to Eckerd....finally found the generic "Eckerd Boric Acid"....I guess that's good enough. I also went to the health store today and they only had size "O" capsules. I bought them but now I dont know how many capsules I should use a night with that size or if I should put more/less, etc. Can anyone help? Thank u .... Can't wait to start using it tonight, I think Im going to sleep early just to get my first dosage...lol :0)

Hey Ladies,

You can now add me to the list of survivors of Bv! I finally was able to get the Boric Acid and I don't have anymore discharge!! I do get a little discharge the day I use it but after that, nothing... The other clear discharge is normal right ladies...?

[Emma22]

Hey, is there a way you can take the boric acid orally? i think id prefer that. Has anyone tried this?

[shorrty]

thanks jewls think i'll leave out the sitz bath, so far so good still bv free and no post sex odour. i hope its gone 4 good!

you can also buy some cheap herbal capsules and empty them and refil with BA as necessary i have 2 do this cos i cant get gel caps anywhere

[quietmadness]

Do any of Y'all know of a web site where you can buy BOTH the boric acid AND the gel caps?

That'd be the best shit ever...all nice and delivered to my door.

Its nice to know that im not alone in this! After reading all your advice i tried tea tree oil last night. So far the smell has gone but i dont know if thats just the tea tree oil thats covering it up! I want to try yoghurt as i read that somewhere else aswell and was helpful to others

dont do it. yogurt is messy and it doesnt help. boric is the way to go homegirl.

DO NOT USE ENZARA...IT DOES NOT WORK AND IT'S A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY! Several girls, including myself, have tried it and basically it's just a nice advertising campaign but there isn't any truth to its claims.

As for boric acid and sex, I wait until I don't have anymore of the clear boric acid discharge. (You get a clear discharge when you use each boric acid capsule...when the discharge is gone, I figure it's out of my vagina.) I use condoms and it doesn't seem to harm them, although I'm also on birth control so I don't completely rely on their effectiveness.

as for the enzara dont do it. give your money to me. i tried it and it did not work either. i know. boric acid is the bomb.

i love all yall. i thought i was the only 1 with bv for so long. i thought i was defective. ive been using the boric acid for 3 days now and no smell down below. thank god. but i have not had sex as of yet. so i hope the smell is gone for good. i will post with the results. okay. so until then i only have this to say. EVERY WOMAN WHO SUFFERS FROM BV PLEASE GO OUT AND GET A BOTTLE OF BORIC ACID AND FREE YOURSELVES FROM THIS HELLLLLLLLLLL! it really works.

Stay far away from Enzara!! You might as well flush your money down the toilet with the itty bitty fish heads!! Capsules you can buy at a health store like GNS, Boric is found at Walmart near the Peroxide, and if they don't have it, ask somebody. It looks like a big Vitamin Bottle. (Best way to describe it)

Neverending, never heard back from the Doctor, must of been a flake like all the rest.

Sassy, glad to hear everything is better!!

Shorty, be carefull with the sitz baths. Boric acid can be toxic, so I wouldn't do that unless a doctor or somebody says it's safe.

Still no fish on this end!!!

[neverending]

Wow! We have gotten so many new girls on this site.This is crazy! Researchers need to do something about this.I can't believe they would let us suffer like this.
Jewelscando:Did you talk back to that doctor that was trying to help us?

[latinrican]

Thanks Sassy for the warning....I was surely about to buy it. I understand by reading everyone's reply that the Boric Acid is the thing to get...so I can get this at Wal-Mart and/or Pharmacy?...now what about the capsules?

[sassy]

Hey Ladies...Im new to this but been having the same problem for over a year. Has anyone tried Enzara or heard of it? Im thinking about trying it....any suggestions?

[tgifcanigohomeye...]

Happy Monday Everyone....

I decide to try the boric acid and bought it yesterday, but I have to wait for the health food store to open to get the capsules today. I'm really excited though! One question that you all may or may not know the answer to: does boric acid have any effect on condoms? And how long after the boric acid should I wait to have sex? (Thought I saw 3 days somewhere on here, but can't be sure). Thanks y'all!

im new here and ive been suffering with bv for 3yrs. i just tried the boric acid last night. b4 that i tried everthing in the book and on the table. i am fed up with this. i hope this boric acid helps. i cant stand to have sex because of the smell. why does it have to smell sooooooooooo badddddddddd? ive tried metrogel, flagyl,yogurt,cleocin, tea tree oil, sitz baths, douche, and i have even ordered thing from the internet that didnt help. so ladies im here for help amd maybe i can help someone too. newbie............ peace out

[shorrty]

hi ladies, well i took a top up of BA after getting a slight odour with my usual secretions not fishy more like that post period funk but no smell after sex so i'll see how it goes maybe i'll use it once a week when i get symtoms and if no symptoms i wont take it.

Also i hve been inserting mine in the morning i wear a liner pad, i wash in evening evrything normal almost as soon as i insert BA. am considering a BA douce/sitz mayybe 1 tsp in a quart of water to see the effects, keep u posted if i do.

and acidophilus when i remember, need to tighten up with that!

hugs2all

[sassy]

My UTI is gone and I've been using the boric acid again. I don't think the two were related...at least I hope not!!

[Emma22]

Help me ladies! Im new here and i just came across this site while trying to find self-treatments for BV!
Many of you are saying that BV is sex related but I am a 17 year old virgin and im pretty sure that i have BV and I hate it. Ive had boyfriends but none that i want to get seriously intimate with because of this problem! Ive had it for ages now and I dont think i could go to the doctor cos i feel too embarrassed.

[jewelscando]

Welcome tgifcanigohomeyet!! You have now finally found your new home!! This site has been a god send for me!! I'm currently using Boric Acid, which you can find at Walmart, near the Peroixide area, and you have to by capsules to fill it. We buy the 00 size.

Mine is still gone!! Again still just using twice a week and after sex. How's everything going with you Sassy?? Is the UTI gone??

[neverending]

Welcome to the board! I felt the same way when I found this board.I thought"thank God I'm not the only person plagued with this crap". Anyway, It's nothing but love and support here so make yourself at home.What methods of treatment have you tried?

[tgifcanigohomeye...]

Hi Ladies,
I just found this board today and I feel like….jumping for joy or something. I have been suffering with bv for nearly two years. I’ve tried flagyl, metrogel, clindamax, garlic cloves, you name it. Right now, I have managed to get rid of the odor, and all I have is the itching and discharge.

I guess I’m just posting to show solidarity. It feels so good to know I’m not the only one, and to have new things to try. I wish everybody the best of luck in getting rid of this.
