I have recurrent yeast infections (in that vicious cycle of BV to Flagyl to yeast to treatment to BV) for the past 3 months. The most successful treatment I've had so far was 2 doses of Monistat 3 back to back (for a total of 6 days of treatment). However, that caused the BV pretty bad, so I went for a more gentle Monistat 7 (which my doctor calls the gold standard) this past time around. NOTHING. It got worse! So, I began to suspect that I'm just all Monistated out and need something else. I am finishing my current round of diflucan, which did not work in the past and while it has helped this time around, has not cured the issue. The last time I went to the doctor she gave up and just gave me an alt. medicine referral. I have been on acidophilius for the past 2 months. It does nothing. I have to start Flagyl AGAIN for BV while I finish the diflucan, but I want to try one of the non-Monistat OTCs in addition. Which one is the best? I would rather have it work with no BV than be fast.
