Hi im 19 yrs old and im really not sure about whats going on with my body right now. so maybe i could share what ive been going through. hope you could help me solve this.

* when i was 18, i had my 1st bf that time and he was the 1st one who ive ever had sex with. i didnt really feel good about doing it with him, until it just hurts and i end up feeling like i have a swollen vagina everytime. when i was 18, i experienced something what they called UTI(atleast that's what i thought it was). in my case it was pretty upsetting bec. it was such a pain to urinate and i had that tinge of blood everytime and it just felt downright awful. I went to a doctor and she prescribed me this medication called inuflux and vitamin c, which helped a lot! it was gone after a few days though came back again so i just had to take that medication and it was finally gone. (well, just when i stopped having sex with my bf and totally broke off with him)

* Now, being single i didnt have any sexual activity, i noticed this very foul odor and unusual discharge. no itching or swelling or any of that whatsoever. thinking that it was just normal i let it be through the whole year. (so stupid of me)

* so this year 2009, i met someone, a new guy who i could say i fell in love with. thats when i started to feel disturbed about the discharge and odor.
so i visited an ob gyne (June 2009), she did a gram stain test on me and prescribed Biofemme doxycycline (twice a day), and metronidazole vaginal suppository (at night) for 7 days.

* this definitely cleared up the smell and the discharge. i never felt better. I went back to the dr. she told me to take 3 sets more. which i stupidly wasnt able to do.
Months have passed, Everything was fine, just after my last period which was this month october 2009. I was having this intimate time with my bf, when he penetrated me, this foul odor surfaced and i was kind of embarrassed (1st time after the medication), though he did not really say anything but acted normally, like nothing was different.

* so here i am, very much worried being able to read all the cases posted in forums. im not really sure what this is and i havent visited my doctor yet

im not sure if i should continue her prescribed medication which i neglected to take 3 sets more?

or probably the 1st mos were fine bec. we (my bf and i) always used a condom, but just late sept. /october we didnt? that probably triggered it to go back.

or is it just that what she prescribed accdg. to some forums might just be a "band aid" and not a real cure?


Im not even sure what this is exactly, coz my doctor wasnt kind enough to explain thoroughly. right now im not so sure what regimen to follow.

all i know is, its just that discharge with foul odor, no itching or anything else. please help.. im suspecting that its bacterial vaginosis but im still not sure.

My bf doesnt know about this, should i have him treated or something? i dont really know how to talk to him about it.

what do you think? and what should i do 1st?
