My name is Lauretta. I am a registered nurse, midwife and public health practitioner. I’m also a health researcher and author of several books on natural cures for women’s health problems. I struggled with BV for a decade until I found a way to manage and then cure it. If you too suffer from BV I hope my story will inspire you to be free from this miserable and bothersome condition …… I am married with three children. My first bout of bacterial vaginosis occurred after I had my first child 11 years ago. It was a bit of a surprise as I had never suffered from any type of vaginal infection before. Three months into my pregnancy, I developed this awful itch, which despite the application of topical vaginal creams refused to go away.

I went to my doctor who diagnosed it as yeast infection and put me on a course of antibiotics. Antibiotics did seem to help (for a little while anyway!). I remember thinking, “Well good riddance, this itching is cured. Well I was wrong! I was clear of bacterial vaginosis for about three months and then it came back with a vengeance!  Especially the itching! This time I had large amounts of vaginal discharge and the smell and burning feeling nearly drove me crazy. At this point I was six months pregnant and feeling quite fed up. 16% of women get BV as a matter of course during their pregnancy.

I went to the doctor who looked at me with pity and said, “I’m sorry there is not a lot I can do for you. Have some more antibiotics and vaginal creams. Hopefully that should help. Goodbye!” I went home, took my antibiotics and yes… the infection did clear.  Of course, the “cure” did not last longer than a few weeks.  Before I knew it I was back on the BV merry-go-round again – suffering from painful itching and burning, taking even more antibiotics and experiencing an even more severe case of BV a few weeks later.

Does this story seem familiar to you? Are you sick of going around in a vicious circle when it comes to the treatment of your BV? Do you keep taking the antibiotics that are prescribed for BV only to find the infection is even worse just a few weeks later?

Finally, I had enough. After trying 4 over the counter creams that did nothing, I finally made a doctor’s appointment. I was so embarrassed, my face turned red. I felt so dirty. I just kept thinking. what is wrong with me? I asked myself over and over again.

My doctor’s visit was quick and I was off the drug store with a prescription to fill. A couple of weeks later, the antibiotics I received completely fixed my problem, or so I thought.

Unfortunately, after a month or so of feeling normal again, my Bacteria Vaginosis came back and this time with vengeance.

The worst part was, my husband and I were growing apart. I avoided intimacy completely, I was just too embarrassed. Every day I thought, why me? Will this ever go away?  Read more »
