Way TMI question. ****Updat****

Ok, so AF started on Sat ended on Tuesday morning. Wednesday I would have just a tad of spotting...normal I thought maybe a little leftover. Wednesday night I get an itch (the dreaded itch) I have only had this "itch" 2 other times in my life. The last one was about 10 yrs ago. So Thursday I have when I go potty like day one spotting for AF, also increased itch. I buy a one pack of Monistat and do it last night, wake up this morning NOT loving life so far with increased itch. Also I am spotting more, but know I have like weird cramps, dull but there; So my question since it has been so long is, Is this normal with a YI?? Im going to call the doctor and get a script for Dilucian (sp). But the cramps and spotting are making me nervous. Hope I didnt confuse you to much, ANY help would be great. Thanks Ladies.


Update: Well thank the Lord, I took that little pink pill and can actually go out tonight and not have "the itch" It has helped me so much already, and I only took it around 12:30 I am a happy camper.

Re: Way TMI question.

I can't tell from your post whether or not AF has come full force yet. Do you usually spot for a few days before AF comes? I would visit your gyno if AF doesn't come full force or the itching continues. I have experience with YI's but not usually during AF. Do you have the other symptoms of YI like thick discharge?

Re: Way TMI question.

AF is gone, she stopped on Tuesday. I have no other YI signs no discharge just a crazy itch. I never spot, never did anyway. I was just concerned with the cramps a mild spotting AFTER AF. Strange.

Re: Way TMI question.

My friend gets an infection so bad that it makes her bleed and cramp. I would call your Dr., you may need something stonger

Re: Way TMI question.

I think you can get YI's right before/after AF due to all the hormone fluctuations. I don't believe cramps and spotting are common symptoms, but I'm not sure. Maybe AF is just lingering and the dull cramps are the feeling of that monistat cream up there? I think monistat takes a couple of days to work even with the one dose treatment, so you might feel better in a bit, but there's no harm in calling the doctor. Hope you feel better soon.

Re: Way TMI question.

Thanks Ladies, just called the Dr and I have Diflucin (sp) waiting for me at CVS.

Re: Way TMI question.

Monistat can irritate the walls in the vagina making it worst. Specially the high doses! The ebst kind to get is the 7 day treatment becasue it doesn't have as much medication as the 3 day treatment. I would def. see a doctor about it though.
