Severe BV (bacterial vaginosis) HELP!!

For about the past 2.5 years I struggle with BV  somewhat consistently. 99% of the time it happens either right before my period, or directly after my period. Sometimes it will just decide to pop up and surprise me. soooo annoying😩

My fiancé of 3 years informed me that’s why our sex life is so minimal. We had a small argument a few weeks ago and I told him that we needed to be open and honest with each other about anything and everything, which is when he brought that up. Not gonna lie, it made me even more self-conscious and just didn’t settle right with me (I was not mad at him or anything, it’s just not something a woman wants to hear from her fiancé), but I also knew for a fact that I know he’s aware of it because every time we have sex and he pulls out, it’s just not the most pleasant smell. it’s absolutely disgusting and I hate it and I’m so self-conscious of it, which is why I didn’t necessarily mind that our sex life was not doing good. 

I have taken the Garden of Life women’s probiotic in the past, and have been taking it every day for the past couple weeks, but I was just wondering if anyone has found a better solution for BV or have any suggestions on what to do? 

my Gyno prescribes me some type of vaginal gel that I insert before going to sleep, and that helps, but I know that’s not something I can do every week, or I at least wouldn’t think I could. Not that I would really want to have to do it every week.

Any suggestions on a probiotic or other ideas? 🫣🫠😩
