Answers:
I suggest seeing a different doctor to get another opinion. If one doctor isn't making any progress, it won't do any harm to see a different one and see if he can tell you something different. Sometimes when a person has a problem a doctor will go straight to the more common diagnoses (yeast infection, bacterial infection, etc.) when your problem is something a little less common. Seeing another doctor may help solve your problem.
Also, you mentioned you are a full time college student. Most universities offer some sort of health services for full time enrolled students. For example, my college offers free sexual health services on campus through Planned Parenthood once every week. Look into your college's student health services to see if you could get more affordable services through them.
The problem may not be an infection. It sounds like you're having a lot ovulation mucus. This isn't rare but most women won't see a gynecologist about it. That may also explain the cramps. Not all menstrual cycles are the same. Though your body is used to a routine, the mucus that's produced prior to the cycle may be being produced in a higher quantity. This can be from a number of different things, but is most often a result of extremes in exercising. Women who undergo major athletic training may sometimes even skip a period but still produce the mucus that the vaginal wall creates to support ovulation. The color and consistency of the discharge may also help you to know what it is. Your doctor should have done a culture to determine this from the beginning. If not, see a different doctor. If it's clear and sticky, it's fertile mucus and more than likely you're still having a menstrual cycle. If green, yellow or clumpy, then it's more than likely and infection and needs to be treated with a stronger antibiotic and a culture should be run. If a little dark in color, like red or brownish even, then your body is cleaning itself out and that's perfectly okay and you should let it run its course, this can take a while. Also, you may want to take a pregnancy test if the doctor hasn't already. Either way, see a doctor and ask him to take a culture this time.
Hope this helped.
