Been M.I.A for a while - real life taking over!!! I apologise if this thread is too graphic but I have a few questions.
When I was 15, I went to see my school nurse because I thought I had BV... I was sitting in my school assembly when I suddenly noticed the horrible "fishy" smell. She asked me about my symptoms and they were very similar to BV and she concluded that I had thrush, so we went off to the clinic to get me some stuff - I wasnt (and im still not) sexually active so swabs didn't have to be taken. Anyway, I was naive and how to use pessaries and creams wasnt explained to me from the doctor or the school nurse (I didnt have the heart to tell my Mum) and it ended up in me not using the pessary at all

Skip forward to me being 22 and still not treated whatever this problem is (I know, it's horrendous but I didn't and still don't really have any independence atm as i'm learning to drive) and I now can't tell if it's BV or Thrush. I'm aware that Metronidazole is meant to treat BV and i've been on it before but for something completely unrelated, so surely if I had BV that would have treated it as well? I've only noticed a slight fish smell twice, at random times since I was on the course of Metranidazole.
I saw the nurse recently as I had what I thought was a UTI, but nothing came up on my urine test and I was told to go back to the doctor if the symptoms re-occured. Anyway, the symptoms i'm getting at the moment is just the burning when I go to the loo and a tiny amount of white/off white discharge. I don't get itching around the vulva or anything... could this still be classed as Thrush?
Jinx
Edit - Forgot to mention that when i'm due on my period, it seems to burn as well
