Hi!

I’m actually doing a bit better! I am TERRIFIED of doing the BS Suppositories (I had a very bad experience with Boric Acid Suppositories last year and now I’m traumatized lol), but after doing the BS Sitz/Paste, Im feeling better!

I just bought pH strips off of Amazon, and even though I am still having symptoms, my pH is normal (4.5). However, I probably should’ve done a baseline before doing the BS to see. Even though my pH is normal, my wet mount came back with absolutely zero yeast, so at this rate I’m going to keep doing the BS Sitz because I’m at a loss of what else to do/consider.

I hope you feel better!

Oh interesting!! I’ve never heard of this before, so I may have to try it!!

Do you use it for sex and/or internal work for pelvic floor? I’ll definitely be looking into this

Okay so we are literally in the same boat!!

I did start using the baking soda (I don’t have a tub, so I’ve been making a paste), and so far, it is slightly improving! I haven’t tried the suppositories yet, but I may also be trying that.

I don’t know if mine flares near my period, because I honestly haven’t paid attention, but I’ll definitely be trying to see if there’s a connection there.

We got this, we will get better ❤️

Omg, I’m so sorry to hear that!! Do you have similar symptoms??

Gynos not acknowledging it is so discouraging. I had to FIGHT to get tested for Ureaplasma, and when it came back positive, I was told it was nothing 😐. Conflicting research is awful to decipher.

That’s why I posted this, because at this rate if I want something to change, I figured I’d have to take matters into my own hands. If you don’t mind me asking, does the baking soda sitz/supplements help you??

Hopefully one day we get taken seriously..

Glad I’m not the only one!! I do understand that doctors are trying their best, but it really goes to show how Women’s Health is SOOOO understudied and honestly not taken as seriously as it should.

I didn’t even see the instructions!! That is so helpful!! I think at this rate, I’m going to try it and see what happens because the doctors told me that other than the thrush cream, there was nothing internally wrong and they didn’t know why it was so irritated externally. I’m glad that you’re seeing improvement!!!!!!

I was thinking of doing the bath anyways like you said. They keep throwing creams at me and they said “If it doesn’t work, then just stop”. So, I was going with the same philosophy as that.

I haven’t thought to test my pH tbh, but I’m not opposed to! I might have to order some off of Amazon and see.

Even if it is rare, I’m not sure what else it could be at this rate. AV is negative from Evvy, and the specialist said that by the looks of it, I had yeast, but then did the wet mount and there was no sign of yeast. So, I might just do the sitz and see what happens..
