UGH... yeast infection ?
So I think I am getting a yeast infection. I know I should call the Dr. and probably will, but do you ladies know what is safe etc.
I know about the yogurt thing and I have acidophlous that I can take.
Did your dr's make you come in to the office? I reaaalllyyyy would rather not and just use an OTC if possible.
TIA

Re: UGH... yeast infection ?
i have one too! My Dr said he can prescribe something to relieve the annoying feeling on the outside but nothing internally. He said he cant really give me any medication strong enough to get rid of it and it will go away when I give birth (which is next week) but since you have a while to go...i dunno. Def call your dr.
someone on here made a good suggestion if you cant take any meds. She said (kinda gross but could work) put some yogurt in your underwear , let it sink in. Not a bad idea as long as you will be home for a while

Re: UGH... yeast infection ?
my doc just told me I had one yesterday...even tho I really have no symptoms And he prescribed me some meds to insert every night...granted I'm only 13 weeks...not sure if it makes is difference the later you are in your pregnancy ....I would like to know how he can tell from just a visual exam...is there a test they can do for yeast infections down there while they are doing an exam in the matter of seconds?????...

I think they can tell from looking, maybe it's irritated-looking. Because I thought I had one at my 8 week so I mentioned it and my dr said she didn't "see" anything so I didn't. And sure enough, that week's urine test came back negative for the infection.

My doc told me to use the monistat 3 day and it is annoying, but seems to have helped so far. Feel better!
