I am 41 and breastfeeding. I was diagnosed with BV for the 1st time in August. I didn't want to take the antibiotics prescribed and thought a natural route would work. I got prebiotic, garlic supplements, and boric acid suppositories. None of which worked. I went to the doctor again and she said it looked pretty bad and was still BV positive, then decided to take the antibiotics after all to try and clear it as it had been months. I now have the same symptoms after all that and am not sure what to do. I don't want to take antibiotics again. I need relief. Any advice?
During breastfeeding the milk promoting hormone prolactin increases while estrogen decreases. As a result, vaginal dryness and atrophy occurs due to reduced estrogen. Vaginal atrophy in turn reduces the resistance against infection. BV commonly occurs.
Since you are on breastfeeding, the cause of BV is due to vaginal atrophy. Clearing bad bacteria alone may not stop the infection from coming back because your atrophy still exists and resistance is still low.
The right approach is to clear bacteria and reverse vaginal atrophy at the same time.
NeuEve is the only product that can do both.
Below is the suggested treatment for you:
For the first 12 days: 1 pack of NeuEve Gold (4 suppositories). Use 1 suppository every 3 days. The first treatment period is 12 days.

If by day 12, your BV is cleared (~90% of chance), you can switch to the maintenance mode. Using 1 Gold suppository per week. One pack is good for a month of health maintenance. You need to do maintenance for at least 3 months. If you do not see BV coming back for 3 months, you may be BV free for a long time.
If by day 12, your BV is not cleared (~10% of chance), you can continue using NeuEve Gold once every 3 days for clearing BV until your BV is cleared.
If after you use 3 pack of NeuEve Gold, your BV is still not cleared (~1% of chance), you may move up a level to BV Clear. This article shows you how to use BV Clear to clear a stubborn recurrent BV:
How do I use the BV Clear to clear BV?
The previous NeuEve Gold is not wasted because they help you reverse vaginal atrophy and boost your resistance to infection and tolerance to the stronger treatment product like BV Clear.
When you are on breastfeeding, BV Clear cannot be used upfront because you have vaginal atrophy and may feel burning when you use BV Clear. But if you use NeuEve Gold first for a few months, your atrophy will be reversed and you will be able to tolerate the stronger product BV Clear if your BV is a stubborn type and not cleared.
After your BV symptoms are cleared, your job is only completed by one half. The other half is maintenance to stop BV from coming back.
How to stop BV from coming back?
If you like NeuEve Gold, you can subscribe to it for long-term health maintenance until you wean breastfeeding. Your atrophy and BV will be gone for good.
