Looking for advice on how to deal with what’s seeming to be never ending cycle. So to back track for the whole timeline… The first weekend of march I had what was my first ever yeast infection (I’m 26). I noticed a slight smell but it was not fishy and it was only once. I used the 3 day monistat and it cleared and everything was back to normal. Around March 23 (3 days after my period) I felt like something was off and I went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and BV. I was prescribed oral flygal for 7 days and diflucan (2 pills 72 hours apart); it agin seemed to clear up. Then around April 21 I noticed strong yeast infection symptoms again (with some abnormal discharge the week before while on my period). I was given the same course of diflucan. However, this time I was still having white discharge and when having sex (I waited until I was done with treatment) the fish smell of BV was present. So, I went to the doctor and was tested for BV and yeast again. I tested positive for BV and C. Ganlata this time. I started the merto gel yesterday (every night for 5 nights), I took my first round of diflucan today (the next on Saturday), and then my doctor said to do 5-7 days of boric acid when treatment is done. Does anyone have advice? I started the Azo probiotics last week and have not been having sex with my bf. My doctor said she doesn’t think my IUD is causing it because I’ve had it for a year with no problems and I’ve been with my bf for the same amount of time. Really just at a loss and am feeling so defeated and gross.
