safe yeast infection treatment in pregnancy

I had to use something earlier in my pregnancy and my dr told me to only use monistat 7, dont use the stronger ones they make for only a day or so of treatment.

I would definitely talk to your Doctor or Midwife before taking anything at all. I had a yeast infection very early on in pregnancy as well and my doctor prescribed a one dose treatment called Gynazole that worked quite effectively. It was expensive even with insurance but it worked really well for me. I would definitely call your doctor however before doing anything.

I went to my doctor and she told me monistat was on the safe list and that I did indeed have a yeast infection!

I've only had a yeast infection one time & it was during this pregnancy, monistat actually didn't help me & I had to go a week suffering from it waiting for the doctors results just to find out it was actually a yeast infection which is what he thought it was but they couldn't give me anything until the results, either way I got monistat 7 & it didn't help me, but everyone is different. I just used ice packs until I got a prescription.

I suggest you go to the doctor and confirm if it's a yeast infection or not. If you treat yourself for yeast infection and have a bacterial vaginosis instead, you will only make it worse.

Yes antibiotics always give me a yeast infection. I forgot to ask myself today I had a root canal and I'm on amoxicllin. Does anyone know if diflucan is safe to take during pregnancy? Creams haven't worked in a long time for me.

There are some otc meds that aren't safe to use in pregnancy.

Possible thrush? It's safe to use treatment during pregnancy, just be sure to check with the pharmacist. I am 6+ weeks and have just been diagnosed with this. I know how intensely itchy it is.

I was on antibiotics for a sinus infection and the doc told me that it might bring on a yeast infection...and of course, it did. :( He did tell me that Monistat was ok during pregnancy..I guess I just wanna know if it's really ok.. Thanks!

What exactly are the symptons for a yeast infection? I heard its normal in pregnancy. I just want to know for future reference. Im 19 weeks prego.

I think so? I've never had a yeast infection (knock on wood), but I'm pretty sure the cream is safe. Check with your doc/midwife just in case.

Yea it mite be a yeast infection I just had the same problem ichy all the time but talk to my doctor about it nd she already new what it was so they gave antibiotics for it.

Is it safe to use over the counter medicine for a yeast infection? Its a Friday and no one is in the doctors office and I can't catch a break! HELP!

Has anyone had a yeast infection before? I'm 35 weeks and I'm dealing with a yeast infection right now. I'm treating it with a cream that my doctor prescribed me, but I've been getting a pink discharge after I wipe myself, well everytime I put on the cream. Can it be the cream that's causing the pink discharge? Im so lost this is my first pregnancy and this is the first time that I've gotten a yeast infection.

I have had a few yeast infections, but not yet during pregnancy. They are not a big deal, not dangerous to your baby, and you can get suppository medicine to make it go away, so try not to worry. Here is a link with some information about yeast infections during pregnancy, I hope it helps you feel better: http://www.babycenter.com/0_yeast-infections-during-pregnancy_485.

My doctor subscribed that to me. For me, I get a yeast infection as a sign for pregnancy. And I was scared this pregnancy because I had a miscarriage before. But I took it at 5 weeks, and now I'm 35 weeks.

Monistat or something similar is safe to take during pregnancy and if the baby is born vaginally while you have a yeast infection, he or she could end up with thrush in his mouth and that would be much trickier to get rid of. Unfortunately, yeast infections are just more likely to happen during pregnancy. I never had one in my life until I got pregnant and now I've had two! Both were diagnosed by my midwife and both times they told me to take the over the counter remedy.

) My doctor said I might have an yeast infection. Is it something to be worried about? What are the treatment options?

I have heard many women say that it is safe, and others say they were prescribed an oral med for a yeast infection. I would contact your OB to know for sure.

I had a uti and my doctor prescribed me medicene and I took it and now my doctor said the medicene caused a yeast infection. Does anyone know any over the counter medicenes that are safe to use ? Im 20 weeks pregnant.

im 31w pregnant and i just found out i have a yeast infection and i have to put the cream everytime i go to sleep my question is if its bad for my baby because i have to insert the tube all the way inside my vagina..

I had gotten a yeast infection at 31 weeks by taken antibiotics. My doctor told me it was safe to take Monostat 3 day treatment. I used one dose and seen and felt results. I did use all 3 though just in case. Good luck.

I went to the ER for and ingrown toenail infection and the doctors put me on antibiotics safe for the baby, and now I have a yeast infection.. and I have a doctor's appointment Monday for the pap smear and all that jazz. The question is have any of y'all ladies ever had a yeast infection while being pregnant, or from a pregnancy in the past, recent or your current pregnancy now... and how did you get it to go away? Also can it do damage to your baby?

Try the AtoZ yeast infection pills. I'm 5 weeks and they seem pretty safe for me.

I have recently discovered (myself, not by dr. ) that I have a yeast infection and I would like to know if anyone has any ideas of O.C. meds that work without concern of fetal danger. My OB is closed on thw weekends and would like some relief before Monday. Please help. Ive read Monistat is ok, but also some bad comments too. Any advice would help.

It's common. I had one too and my doc told me monistat was safe. Good luck.
