1472764 tn?1287588186 I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?
1054108 tn?1314298660 Has anyone was treated for bacterial vaginosis infection or yeast infection during first trimester? What medicine is safe to take for treating these two infections during 12w of pregnancy? My OB has prescribed me fluconazole 150 mg (one tablet only) for yeast infection and metronidazole 500 mg (to take for seven days) to treat bacterial vagnosis infection. She said it is safe however I am still hesitating. Please I need your advices.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I had a yeast infection almost my whole pregnancy, o just couldn't shake it. I tried changing my diet, drinking cranberry, probiotics, the cream, felt like I tried everything. I don't know about the cream causing problems during delivery, because I had given up on that before I gave birth, but the yeast infection itself didn't seem to affect delivery.

1145751 tn?1262133453 I looked up yeast infections during pregnancy so I didnt get too worried about it, since it is very common. I bought OTC medication for it. Today my discharge went from yellow white to pinkish white. Should I go to my OB or anybody else had the same problem. Im freaking out.
Avatar n tn //www.healthline.com/health/can-a-yeast-infection-cause-bleeding The candida can cause inflammation, blood is common I have had success over the years with monostat one day. But the doctor can prescribe a pill you take once that gets rid of it. How are you treating your yeast infection?

6005122 tn?1393527486 I have contacted my doctor, and they seem to be at a loss as far as other ways of treating yeast infections in pregnant women. Is there anything anyone can recommend that they did if they had a yeast infection during pregnancy before? Please help I can't take it anymore!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I had bv and a yeast infection at 6w. I can normally tell when I have either of them but I had no symptoms whatsoever. I took the meds they gave me.. I'm hoping it cleared but I honestly have no idea. My gyn said they were common during pregnancy.. ..yay...
Avatar f tn Hi ladies! Any of you have any advise on how to cure/relieve for east infection during pregnancy? I'm 14 weeks and it has been bothering me for a while. Any home remedies that any of you tried and it helped? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I've had a yeast infection throughout my whole pregnancy and I've used monistat almost everyday of my pregnancy. Last week they gave me a pill that was great but I'm scare to get the infecion back again.
384104 tn?1291124812 A couple weeks prior to this, I noticed the begining symptoms of a yeast infection that I thought was just vaginal dryness. I treated it with Vagisil and the symptoms went away. Did I possibly miss the symptoms of a yeast infection that could have caused my misscarriage? After the miscarriage happened, my husband and I did not wait for my first cycle and had intercourse. I went to the Dr. this past Friday and I had another yeast infection. I am treating it now with Monistat 7.
Avatar f tn it can however cause you to spot, as any vaginal infection during pregnancy can do that. But if your in early pregnancy your safest treatment is a 7 day treatment cream.I had one around 10 weeks and im now 15 weeks!
869568 tn?1248372915 I wondered, though, have any of you ever experienced this during pregnancy? Is this dangerous? I had a yeast infection once before a looooooooooong time ago and was treated with cream; is that safe during pregnancy?

Avatar f tn Any has experienced yeast infection during pregnancy? Is it safe to consume Diflucan during first trimester?
Avatar f tn Yeast infections are very common during pregnancy so don't worry. That's the only time I've ever had a known yeast infection. Sometimes women have an infection and don't even know. Just call your doc and ask him what he thinks you should do. I'm anti medicine so I'm not sure if otc yeadt infection creams are safe during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Sorry to hear that. Monistat is probably the only med they recommend for yeast infection during pregnancy. Can't your doc prescribe something?? How long can you go on like this? Good luck to you. I hope it goes away!
Avatar f tn right think I have a yeast infection, feel very sore and itchiness down there, what's best thing for it? Got a midwife appointment on Friday which I'm going to mention it, will she need to examine me?

Avatar n tn Unfortunately us prego ladies are prone to getting infections infections
Avatar f tn ve never heard of that antibiotic, and my mother works for a gyno. But I have had three during my pregnancy, I am 35weeks. They were the most horrible yeast infections I have EVER had. I used only monistat. I did use the cream one time, but it didn't help and didn't work, and it's not my preference in general, but the pill type one that is inserted the same way, worked best and staid in best. I did it right before bed. Seven day is probably best.
Avatar f tn It is very common to keep a yeast infection and Bacteria Vaginosis (BV) during pregnancy. With the boost in hormones everything is thrown off such as your PH balance. My doctor was saying even what we eat, stress and sex could throw it off...the slightest things. So don't worry just keep your doctor informed because both can attribute to preterm labor.
