Anyone get a YI with progesterone?

ASUBride

I think I might have a yeast infection. Ugh.  I've been using progesterone suppositories since O and know there's a little discharge with that, but recently, it's been ALL day and more clumpy.  It's slightly itchy, but nothing unbearable.  I was on antibiotics 2 weeks ago for a UTI, so I know it's entirely possible, but would it take this long to kick in?

Also, the clumpiness started at the same time that I filled a new perscription of progesterone, so maybe it's compounded a little differently?

I just don't know.  I don't want to treat for a YI if it's not, but DH is dying to have sex and I just won't do it with the possibility of passing a YI to him.  I had a pap last week and was told it would be 2 weeks for results.  I'm assuming I'd hear if I had one brewing at that point. 

I guess this is more of a vent, but has anyone been confused about progesterone leftovers vs. yeast?

I had an YI while on progesterone, but like you I also just got off antibiotics for an UTI.  My YI happend about a week to 2 weeks after my last antibiotic. 

I'm sorry I know this doesn't help you at all, just know that I feel for ya.

Were you able to treat it while using the progesterone supps at the same time? 

Did you have obvious symptoms? Or was it just a change in your discharge?

Thanks!

::wonders if I should wait for pap results, call for a yeast test, treat possible infection, or wait it out.:: Stupid vagina.

What about taking the pills?

What about taking the pills?

I started taking acidophilus last night hoping it may help.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

ETA: You probably meant the progesterone pills vs. supps...duh! My doc didn't give me the option.  A few more weeks and I should be off of them. Can't wait!
