You could try changing your laundry detergent, and your soap.

It takes longer then 3 days to really notice a change with infections and sometimes it takes a second dose of another antibiotic to really work, hang in there and if you’re not better after 10 days then go back.

Unfortunately all them hormones are out of whack and causing this. The only thing to really do is keep going to the doctor and getting meds. The good news is that you are in your second trimester and the medications have really no risk so it’s ok, don’t freak out about that. It will get better as your body gets used to the hormone rise. Don’t have sex, douche, or take any baths. For now just wash in that area with water or a very hypo allergenic vaginal wash. Eat yogurt and keep your doctor informed of this problem.

Your vagina tends to produce more mucus during pregnancy. Yeast and bacteria thrive in warm moist areas. Try to sleep without underwear on. Avoid wearing fabrics that don’t breath well, like spandex and polyesters. Cotton is good. Eating yogurt (unsweetened) once a day also helps your body produce beneficial bacteria that will fight the yeast and bacterial vaginosis.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

Well if you took the oral antifungal known as fluconazal (spelling) also known as diflucan, it can take a while to work. It took mine 2 weeks to go away with meds.

OMG I had that numerous times and I was finally diagnosed as being a chronic case. Nothing helped…until I had a new doctor. She told me about this stuff that they sell at natural food stores. It is called fem dophilus. It comes in a pink and white box. You can google it, I’m sure. It has to stay refrigerated and is sold out of refrigerator. It is the best stuff. Since you’re pregnant, ask your doctor first, but I am almost sure it is fine. It is natural but has to stay refrigerated because it contains live bacteria that is healthy for your female tract.

IDK if your doctor explained why you get BV but mine did to me and she says your body is deficient in some sort of good bacteria that kills off the bad bacteria so all the bad stuff grows uncontrolled, resulting in BV. Fem dophilus provides your body with that good stuff. When I took it, I took 2 pills a day for the first week and then 1 pill a day after that. It hasn’t come back since. That was September 2009. I would try it if I were you.
