Terazol and bleeding?

a316b

so one of my cultures came back positive for some sort of yeast a week or so back. Doc called in rx medicine called terazol. Supposed to do it for 7 days.

After three days (yesterday) all of a sudden I was seeing a lot of bright red blood when I go to the bathroom!

Called the doc and they had me come in immediately last night at 6pm for an ultrasound and exam. I am 12w6d.

Hubby was on train, so I took my two toddlers with me

Turns out baby girl is still great, cervix is still closed, her heart rate is fine and there is no bleeding in the uterus - but after an external exam, apparently the outside of my cervix is covered in bloody blisters?! Whoa! Midwife said to stop the medication because sometimes they see this reaction. Now I need a rhogam shot at the hospital today because I have AB- blood.

Glad it's nothing. So thankful it's minor. But why would you prescribe a medicine that can possibly make your pregnant patient bleed?

Anyone else have a similar experience with this or other insertable meds? Or is my cervix unique....

No experience but wondering was this an allergic reaction?

Hi, I had the same problem, but I was using the generic Monistat 7. When bleeding happened the first time, I thought it was because I strained during using the restroom. Went to the emergency room, baby was great and cervix was closed. Was told by ER not to do anything vaginally until my next check up. During my check up because of the bleeding, I was told everything looked great and to continue with the monistat. Sure enough, the next day I was bleeding again. When I went to my OB, she diagnosed me with a polyp and advised that the medicine was irritating it. Once I found that out, haven't had any bleeding since, and it's been a month.

Thanks ladies! Talked to my obgyn today and she said it was most probably an allergic reaction. They put it on my list of allergies. Took a Benadryl and will take another tonight.

She also said as there was no uterine bleeding I didnt need the rhogam shot like the midwife had told me.

Things are much better tonight

I am so glad everything is okay and I am glad you shared. I used to get yeast infections a lot, so often that Monistat didn't do the trick anymore so I would always request terazol. If I get one during my pregnancy I'll take my chances with Monistat!
