I am wondering what Bacterial Vaginosis is like from personal experience (memories is too vague).
For the past couple months I have smelled different, a bit fishy, with a slightly yellow discharge. My vulva does not itch, but is slightly generally uncomofrtable. I thought this was a yeast infection so I tried monistat which I thought helped until a week or so after the symptoms came back, so I figured it came back and used another monistat. Also, I have had my period twice, and the symptoms were the same before and after bleeding.
Do my symptoms describe BV or something else? My gyno can't see me for almost 2 weeks so I'm pretty clueless.
Thanks!

Can or can not itch. It goes both ways.
Green boogery discharge.
You'll need to get a proper diagnosis just to be sure, though.
