Sorry, bit grim. Went to the gp with what I thought was bv. Not many symptoms but awful smell after sex and exercise. She recommended the otc remedy before antibiotics and took swabs to confirm. That was a week ago. I rang today to ask for the antibiotics as otc hasn't worked only to be told the results had come back this morning and it's clear for bv. So what's causing the smell? Definitely no lurking tampon (I don't use them) plus she dinner her miners lamp when taking the swab so would have spotted anything weird. Only remotely novel event in the last six months was a smear about two weeks before the smell started but I presume that's just coincidence. No new soap, loo roll, etc. She's fitting me in tomorrow at my request but I don't want to be fobbed off. It's three weeks now.

So it's not bacterial vaginosis, so what is it?
