Just need some reassurance 🥲
So I’ve been dealing with some vaginal issues the last 6 weeks. I ended up with a uti about 6 weeks go. Noticed the symptoms and called a tela doc and got a 3 day round of antibiotics. Finished them and then a few days later I was intimate with my man, IMMEDIATELY felt like the uti was back. This time I went to my gyno and did a urine test and it came back positive for a uti. They put me on a 7 day course of antibiotics. I took them all, gave it a few days and started to feel itchy. Went back to the gyno, did another urine test and also a self swab. I was pretty sure I had gotten a yeast infection, but the test came back negative for the uti and positive for BV. I had never had BV before so I panicked a little and then did some research and calmed myself down a bit. So I was put on a 7 day course of flagly for the BV and took fluconazole to make sure to keep the yeast at bay.
Well here I am, 72 hours out of taking my last flagyl and fluconazole and 2 rounds of boric acid plus a week and a half of vaginal health probiotics. I feel normal most of the time, but I am still feeling some cramping and overall not rightness? I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling. It doesn’t burn when I pee, had a little bit of itchiness yesterday but chalked that up to the boric acid. I just wanna be done with this. I wanna be intimate with my partner and I feel like my vaginal is broken. Maybe I’m so hyper aware that I’m looking into normal things? I plan on going to do another self swab at the gyno tomorrow since it’ll be a little over 48 hours since my last boric acid. I also did a ph test from Walgreens yesterday and it read my ph at a 5.0 (I think… those tests are hard to read) but I also saw that the ph of boric acid is a 5 as well so I’m hoping that also explains that away.
I’m just looking for some reassurance that things will go back to normal and I can go back to living my life. I’ve have been so stressed throughout these 6 weeks and I just want to be done with it.
