i have had dozens of yeast infections in the past and BV a few times so I know they kinda feel the same. I have a lot (enough to wet my panties) of discharge it is white and think but not like rice pudding like a classic y.i. and it smells "metallically" like a metal smell def not a fish smell!!! i do not have insurance so i cannot afford a dr so if its a yeast infection i would just treat it at home, but if it sounds like a bv i would try to give them a call for some antibiotics. o and it itches a little and i feel uncomfortable, like something is wrong. what do you think?

after learning what the symptoms of BV are i think that i’ve had it for almost 5 years. i didn’t start seeking treatment until january. i was first given metronidazole which i had a horrible allergic reaction to. and a few weeks ago i was given clindamycin which gave me no results at all.

this is very frustrating and i’m wondering if it won’t go away because i’ve had it for so long. and if that’s not the reason, what could it be? i’ve seen three doctors so far, and my mom says i probably won’t be able to see the ob/gyn for another month. what am i supposed to do until then!?

i do have a boyfriend but i’ve never been sexually active with him or anyone else.

please help me! even if you don’t have the answers to any of my questions, just give any information you have (good or bad).
