I’ve decided to start some home remedies for my bacterial vaginosis as nothing else has worked. Is it okay to continue taking birth control pills while treating my bv or will this make it harder to get rid of? Also, has anyone with bacterial vaginosis used RepHresh to help them get rid of it? Would it be okay to use this as well?

I have battled with reoccuring BV for several years now. No problems with my first pregnancy. Several reoccurences before my second pregnancy. Only one infection during my second pregnancy, treated and resolved. In the past 5 years since my last pregnancy I have dealt with constant reoccuring infections and was placed on MetroGel twice a week as a preventative measure. It helped to reduce the number of occurences. I am now pregnant for the third time and dealing with my second BV infection. I was treated a month ago and now its started again! I am trying the product Rephresh to help balance the ph levels but I have not noticed much of an improvement. I am worried about continuously taking antibiotics throughout my pregnancy. Any suggestions for me that I can discuss with my OB? Or safe home remedies for prevention or treatment during pregnancy?
