Yes, I do also have IC. I personally havent noticed a flare when I've done the metrogel but I think I'm sensitive to the boric acid.
I'm spacing mine out to do the metrogel every Sunday and every Tuesday. I have had sex since doing the 2x a week. I had sex on Sunday for example before using my dose that night. I am going to follow up on the safety of still having sex with my dr to be sure this is ok since I will be on this for the next 6 months and would like to still be intimate. I'm not going to be using tampons on my period though as this can absorb some of the medicine.
I am using these test strips I just found them on amazon but they seem to do the job.
I hope you get some relief soon!
Did you ever get tested for high levels of candida? I would cycle between yeast and bv. I did a candida cleanse and it really helped.

I also noted when my DH wears condoms I have less issues. He’s not keen on the idea but it has helped again no BV.
