diflucan while breastfeeding

My daughter had thrush when she was a newborn as well, and dr. also prescribed Nystatin. It worked, but took a while. I also had to apply some topically to my bbs, because I was breastfeeding. You can keep passing it back and forth!

I had 2 courses of diflucan during this pregnancy prescribed to me by my OB. You should be fine, they are routinely prescribed to women in pregnancy.

I had taken Diflucan for a week for a possible yeast infection in my mammary glands due to pain while breastfeeding, but it turns out that breastfeeding just hurts. I haven't noticed any improvement, but today my neck has started to itch a bit. Any ideas?

I'm so excited I had to share... tonight I was nursing the baby and it hit me.. this doesn't hurt anymore. It took 6 weeks, but breastfeeding is pain free! After weeks of cracked nipples and mastetis at last I can do this without my toes curling. I'm still pumping and bottle feeding as well, but it's nice to know that I can nurse her without all the drama.

I just wanted to see all u ladies are doing . If any of u have gone back to work and how it was worrking out for u . while i am feeling sad and like i should be at home with her and not at work even though i have to been in order ti help support the house and the family, I just wish i could stay at home with my babies longer. Well hope all of u are enjoying ur new little ones and doing well urselves.

I am almost on my last week of pregnancy and I may have a yeast infection, would taking monistat 7 now be unsafe since I'm so close to delivery? Or can my doctor prescribe me with some kind of medication?

I've taken 2 Diflucan tablets one one friday and one on Saturday. Monday i started bleeding my period is not due for another week.

If you are having a period while you are breastfeeding then you can TTC as usual. I was breastfeeding and had two very light period didn't think much of them and got pregnant again. My two youngest will be 14 months apart!

I just talked to my midwife about breastfeeding while pregnant this morning and she said it is perfectly fine. She said people who don't know the facts think you need to stop, but that is not true. Personally I am breastfeeding my 22 month old and I am 14 weeks pregnant. If she doesn't self wean I'll be tandem nursing them in March! Good for you to be educating yourself and not just doing what others say. You are being a fantastic Mom and meeting the needs of both babies!

You can definitely get pregnant while breastfeeding. It being a birth control is a common misconception. However I have had very unregular periods after having kiddos. And before mine were always clock work.

All u can take while breastfeeding is ibuprofen u can't take tylenol. It's weird cause while ur prego all u can have is tylenol and while breastfeeding all I can take is ibuprofen funny huh.

Yea, unfortunately you are not supposed to take Diflucan while pregnant, so, I guess I will have to see what the doc has to say. The creams dont normally work for me either, and in previous occurences, I normally have to take 2 diflucan's so many hours apart in order to get rid of my infection!

It is possible. But also remember that Breastfeeding can delay your period also.....

typically it is just fine for you to continue breastfeeding while pregnant, you may need to take extra vitamins and up you calorie intake even more than a typical pregnant women, so you can provide for both. since you do have history of MC I would definitely talk with your Dr as he or she may want to keep a close eye on your iron levels and any other levels that maybe effected by breastfeeding!

I found a lump on my right breast while breastfeeding my 8 months old baby. I went for a mammogram and the doctor told me to stop breastfeeding in order to do the biopsy. I breastfed all my babies and having problem giving the bottle to the baby. If I can, I never wants to give a formula to my baby. On top of that she is allergic to milk and soy . Any advice? Thanks.

To answer your question, YES it is perfectly safe to go on birth control pills while breastfeeding, HOWEVER, you can not take pills that contain estrogen. There are pills call "mini-pills" or "pops" (progesterone only pills) such as camilla and micronor that are considered safe during breastfeeding. Ask your doctor about it. Some docs will give you a script straight out of the hospital, others will make you wait until you have your 6 week post partum check up.

Anyway she prescribed an oestrogen cream, but I checked the containdications and breastfeeding is contraindicated. I am still breastfeeding and not ready to stop so I can't take that. Anyway, why prescribe an oestrogen cream for something that is just a nervous condition. Does this sound right? I am not feeling good about all of this. Don't know where else to post this or where to get advice or what?

But not all women can become pregnant while breastfeeding. Some can with no problem, but not all. I did extensive research on this a while back because I wanted to get pregnant again. Anyway, for some women it is easy to do without any problems. Some women have too low hormone levels to sustain a pregnancy. I know that is the case for me. I have timed things right for the past 3 months and not gotten pregnant. I know my body very well, as I have tempt my BBT.

Watch the high fructose corn syrup, though. There are the equivalent of something like 12 teaspoons of sugar in one can of soda.

I am trying to ease my mind and figure out how common it is to miss your period after having your period while breastfeeding an infant. I am breastfeeding a 4 month old, I had a period when she was 2 months and 3 months but now I'm a week late. I have taken 3 pts so far and all negative. how big are the chances that I'm pregnant again? I did start exercising over the last month, and I also starting pumping to stock up on breastmilk. Could that cause me to miss my period this month?

it works sometime but not good enough to rely only on that.

I had unprotected sex about 5 weeks ago and a couple of days later it burned while I urinated. I am a male. I took an std test for chlamydia and gonnorea and they both came back negative but the doctor gave diflucan thinking it might be a yeast infection. It worked for about a week and then the burning came back. The doctor then gave me doxycycline( 10 days 2 pills easch day) and said that this should work. It works a little but he said it might take a week and its been six days.

They certified in these such things, not just common breastfeeding experiences. I am sure you could possibly find a specialist who can better direct you in breastfeeding while having a piercing.

Thank you. That's encouraging that you got AF so soon even while breastfeeding. I have not even had my baby yet-I'm only 3 1/2 months pregnant! But I just can't help planning ahead... With a c-section, does it take longer to get AF?
