I just got over a bout of BV, and decided to try out a boric acid capsule after sex to ward off a semen-inflicted pH imbalance. I waited 'til bedtime, popped it in (not super shallow, gave it a little push up there), and went to sleep. I sleep on my stomach, and don't roll around or anything.
When I woke up, there was a HUGE wet patch on the bed (discharge, I assume), little white grains all up in my labia folds and little spots of blood(!) from where friction/chemical burns(?) took their toll, and my whole everything is so itchy! It feels like my last yeast infection!
My vaginal pH this morning was on the high side, but now is back in the normal range (I use those little test strips). I'm thinking maybe for people who sleep on their back their discharge doesn't spread little particles of boric acid everywhere? I feel silly for not thinking about the physics of it all. Has this happened to anyone else?
