I've only had 1 in my life, several years ago. I never itched or had the discharge that is always described. I just HURT.
So, I was on 2 antibiotics last week and of course, 11dpo, I'm getting itchy down there! Ugh. Creamy cm and no crazy discharge stuff, but itchy. I've heard antibiotics can do that. Anybody had one during the 2ww? Can I use the over the counter stuff safely (I left a message for my dr but it's kind of killing me.lol)
Thanks!
Re: Talk to me about yeast infections
Every single time I take antibiotics, I get one. Agree with what PPs said about probiotics, and I'd definitely start taking them ASAP.
However, you're probably at a point where you need some Monistat too, because the probiotics are more preventive, in my experience. If you go that route, I'm betting you keep that pesky YI until AF comes.
If you're really freaked about taking Monistat though, just take the probiotics and keep holding on until AF comes and it'll clear right up when your body pH changes because of AF.

If you're totally sure it's a yeast infection, I'm giving away the best secret ever: GARLIC.
SERIOUSLY. Garlic suppositories clear yeast in a matter of 1-3 days for me. I have even made external relief mixes from olive oil + garlic as well as plain yogurt +garlic to soothe the skin; it doesn't make my skin thin and itchy like monistat. It works very well for me even though it sounds strange at first.
Thanks girls. I was going to the store last night to get that yeast infection test (I think Vagisal makes one) but I fell asleep at 7:30pm!! Ugh. Af is due today or tomorrow and then I can't test, so I'm going asap after work. Thanks for the advice and I'll also pick up some yogurt and probiotics!
