Unhappy Cant get rid of yeast... please help!

Hi ladies,
ok... so about 2 months ago i started noticing a vaginal discharge with a strange odor. I immediately made an appointment with my obgyn and was diagnosed with a yeast infection. The only symptom i have is the discharge, no itching, burning, swelling, etc.
I was put on a 1 time oral pill which was supposed to clear everything up. It didnt! so i went back week 2 where i was then told i have bv (i have had it before) and given the same medication, still didnt clear up. By then i got my period but went back the week after, where i was told it is still bv, was then put on a 5 day treatment of metrogel, which still did not work. now i have been back for the 4th time, where i was told i had a yeast infection again, given the oral pill but it is now 5 days later and it is still not gone.
What can i do? this is so uncomfortable, especially when with someone else, and every other time i had bv, metrogel always cleared it up right away. Is it safe to now just try an over the counter treatment? do these work for you? i am so frustrated and slighlty nervous. I had my pap as well last week and everything is normal. am i going to have to live with this forever?
Thank you!!!

Yeast can be a toughie. Do you have a sexual partner? He should be treated too, he may not have symptoms but may reinfect you. You may find reading, The Yeast Connection, helpful for some diet and lifestyle changes to better control the causes.

This might not work for you but if you're keen try bathing in bicarbonate of soda
