what could it be?

Ok so last week my boyfriend and I had sex and I used spermicide for the first time. All was well until 2 days later when I had this absolute horrid smell coming from "down there". So I did research and read it could be BV. So I started taking folic acid and probiitic acidophilus every morning, and a yogurt soaked tampon at night. It has been about 4 days and the odor is gone, but I still itch like crazy. Could the BV have gone away and now I have a YI? The itching isn't bad, it just comes and goes, but its still irritating.

Yes, it could be a yeast infection. If it is a bacterial infection you should see your Dr to have it treated. They can also tell you which one it is. It could very well be both, or you may have had a reaction to the spermicide.
