Hi ladies,
I'm so relieved to find that I'm not alone, it's quite an embarrassing problem, but I've found strength from everyone to seek medical attention. Atleast I can tell the drs "look! See I'm not the only one!" Lol, I can't recall the exact time this started, I'm 26 with 3 children, no stds, monogamous, not a yeast infection. I have had the Mirena iud about 3 yrs ago, but only kept it for 1 year because of the horrible side effects, but that's another story. I did however get bv within the month after removing it. I find that this happens to me maybe 1-2 weeks before my period it is extremely thick and scoopable like everyone has described, and someone even described the "potato" smell and all over my husbands "nether region" during intercourse. I don't eat badly in my opinion, I do drink coffees, I don't eat fried foods/pork/beef, and buy mostly hormone free/gmo free foods. I do take a probiotic daily and have taken them for 5 yrs now, but the discharge has been occurring fairly recent, maybe the past 6 months or so. I'm scheduling a gyno appt soon, and hopefully can get some answers/ advice. Will update with any diagnosis I receive! I hope everyone finds the courage to seek help, and get your life back! :-)
