long term boric acid & resistant yeast, looking for advice

i've been using boric acid for 3 weeks now and i was wondering for those who used it longer term, what was the timeline like? did you clear up within a few weeks and did you continue to use it to make sure the infection was gone or did it take a longer period of time to clear completely? i'm still experiencing itching a few times a day and using prebiotic gels to manage it but my discharge is watery and clear. just wondering if i should continue using it for a longer period or if i should give up and try something else. i'm having no side affects to the boric acid at all but i'm doubting myself because i'm now on my period (day 1, i didn't use BA overnight as my period had started a little) and i see a little white discharge on the pad while the itching has gone.

i’ve been trying to kick this yeast infection by doing two weeks of boric acid + internal probiotic gels, but i’ve heard using vaginal probiotics at the same time as boric acid is pointless as the boric acid pretty much nukes everything down there. is there any point in using the the probiotic gels at the same time, and if i stop will my YI become more resistant to treatment?
