I just checked the list of approved OTC medications my doc gave me, and it doesn't have anything at all listed for yeast infection or anything like that...
I got a couple yeast infections with my last two pregnancies and I took Monistat one a day, which is what I prefer to take when I wasn't pregnant the Diflucan my doctor prescribed didn't work so she said it was ok for me to use the monistat, it doesn't harm the baby. A yeast infection can be itchy, irritation, cottage cheese like secretions are any of these your symptoms?
Sounds like a yeast infection. I got one with my first pregnancy. I took the 7 day one because they recommend the lower dose but I just read a great article about using garlic (yes, it sounds very odd but after reading the article, I think I'd try it). You can google it and decide for yourself. Hope you are feeling better soon
It could just be the soap you are using. I had the same problem and switched soap to dove sensitive unscented and the itching immediately stopped. Good luck!
Well L&D was finally able to call me back... Went in had a quick pelvic exam.. And yup I have a severe yeast infection.. So they called me in a script... They believe its caused from all the antibiotics I had to be on when I had pneumonia...

Canesten! The duo one is the best. I get thrush quite a lot and still use it.

Sounds like a yeast infection to me, I got them during my first pregnancy/right after often. It sucks! My doctor recommended Monistat also.

Yup sounds like a yeast infection to me. It's no big deal, just annoying and uncomfortable. You can get what you need right from the drugstore.

All the otc meds i find say they are for external itch, but mine is internal so do i just have to deal with the itch until the infection is gone?
