Yeast infection :(

sopranoali

I saw a lot of threads on this when we still had inside babies. But I am so itchy down there it's annoying. I haven't taken a peek down there yet to see if there's discharge, but I am so itchy I'm sure it's a YI. I tried looking online for what I should do while EBFing...I plan to call my Dr when they open. Anyone have any experience with this?

Im dealing with one now too. They seriously suck. I've had them before so I know the signs and I just got the OTC medicine. But if you never had one before I would call your doctor.

I have had one every single time before I get my period now and it sucks!!!

@FFwifey‌ No...I'm looking into that though!

My name used to be "chronic YI". I would get one EVERY time MH and I would have sex. Eventually my gyno gave me a refillable Rx for diflucan which I would just take about evey week. I haven't gotten one for a while (thank god). Can someone post a link to the probiotics they take, I'd like to get on that train, I've been worried about thrush coming up as well since I always had such problems with YI. TIA!

@bearsbearsbears‌ I took acidophilus years ago, didn't work so I stopped taking it, maybe I'll try some again. I don't take the diflucan that frequently Anymore, at least I haven't since I was in my 1st tri, when they told me to stop taking it. I remember I posted on here that I was freaking out because they hadn't told me to stop until I was almost in the 2nd tri.

Thanks all. Turns out I have a UTI :-/

Take a cranberry capsule. Lots of people suggest cranberry juice, but honestly it's always full of sugar which is what you want to stay away from right now. If you do decide to buy the juice without sugar... It tastes disgusting so just don't even think about it. Along the line with the yeast infection, I've used plain natural yoghurt down there and it does help with the itching. Anyway hope your feeling better soon!
