Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Vaginosis During Menstruation

Hi I have been diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and today will be my third day of treatment. I have the metronidozale gel and im going to start my menstrual cycle anyday now. Im thinking like the 27th no later than the 28th. How should I continue my treatment if I start my menstrual cycle before my 5th and last day of treatment. Also I was given a pill to take after my five days using the gel. Can you please let me know how i should go about my treatment if I start my menstrual cycle.
