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!
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.

427258 tn?1266445242 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
12693075 tn?1442246392 this is my 4th yeast infection during this pregnancy. Any advice?? I honestly think my husband has something to do with it. I get them more when we have a ton of sex. I'm 32.
Avatar f tn It's confirmed that I have a yeast infection, so I went to Walgreens and bought Monistat 1 a (one day treatment) its the one with the ovule insert. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I'm kind of nervous to use this product I have many questions like will it work?, can it harm my baby?
Avatar f tn Anyone get a yeast infection while prego? Any over the counter creme I can use without having to take a trip to my doc since I already know what it is?
Avatar f tn I can't get to a doctor for another week what should I do if I have a yeast infection to relieve the itching and burning?
Avatar n tn Hi moms and moms to be. Has anyone had yeast infection during their pregnancy? What are the symptoms? And what helps cure/prevent it?
Avatar f tn Organic coconut oil will knock a yeast infection out overnight. Even though the symptoms will fade immediately, I have used it three days in a row to be completely sure it wouldn't come back. The organic Coconut oil should be placed in the vajayjay. You'll be back in business in no time.
Avatar f tn Call your doctor, I had a yeast infection at 35 weeks and mine was able to call in a prescription for me so I didn't have to suffer!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I'm going on 28 weeks, this is my third pregnancy and I've had constant yeast infections .. Has anyone had the same problem? I've never had this problem before .. The doctor thought it was because I was having sex but I've stopped for more than a month now and the medicine he gave me has not worked, I still have it .. I'm freaking out!!!!
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 Pre-pregnancy I flushed with a small amount of boric acid...always got rid of it. Yeast and bv is simply a sign that your vaginal pH is off allowing growth of the wrong type of bacteria. I can't lie and said I didn't do it once or twice during pregnancy, but I don't know if it's recommended..although all my kids came out fine. I used to be able to purchase powdered boric acid at the pharmacy counter at Wal-Mart, walgreens, etc. ...
Avatar f tn Have you tried an over the counter vaginal yeast treatment? Some yeast are resistant to these as they all have fluconazole in them. The yeast are getting used to the anti-fungals that have azole at the end of their name. But it can also be Bacterial vaginosis (BV). You should get tested to find out if it is a yeast and if it is resistant and also have the laboratory check for bacterial vaginosis. Could you have a STD? If you would need to get tested for those.

Avatar f tn So my Dr just called and I have a yeast infection. Said to get the o.t.c stuff for it. I was at work so had my mom get it. This is my 1st yeast infection, ever. It is okay to use the suppositories, right?
Avatar f tn ) My doctor said I might have an yeast infection. Is it something to be worried about? What are the treatment options?

Avatar f tn I had bad yeast infection with my first pregnancy, what helped me was monistat anti itch cream. Also, wearing loose fitting cotton panties or no panties helps.
