Success after IF

In Germany...naked FIL and bad yeast infection-VENT

Ok- so we are here in Germany. My idea of a vacation is NOT being here with my in-laws, but I love my husband so here I am...bored out of my mind, feeling claustrophobic and in pain. Why in pain? I got a nasty yeast infection last night and guess what? There are no stores open on Sundays. UGH!!! I haven't had a yeast infection in several years, so I didn't pack my just in case items for things such as this. So here I wait, until tomorrow feeling like total crap and pretending to feel great.
Oh- and could someone tell the in-laws that they need to use some discretion when there are visitors in the house? I have seen my FIL naked before (even in my house) and this morning, there he is, completely naked, walking out of the bathroom. I realize it means nothing to be naked in this country, but PUHLEASE have the decency to cover up with your daughter-in-law is in the house. Oh- and could someone ask the the rest of the family to close the door when they use the bathroom? I never know who I might walk in on when trying to pee.
Anyone want to come visit me? I want to go home!!!
Vent over...for now!

uugh, poor lady! I would happily come visit you and laugh hysterically at Poppa when he struts his viener-schnitzle in public.
Don't know if they have herbal/whole food type places around you, but Tea Tree oil can help with that yestie. Dilute 1 tsp of pure oil in a clean water sprayer (like the travel size) and spritz. When I feel a yeastie or BV coming on, I'll often soak a pon in the solution and "wear" that for about an hour, and still spritz throughout the day. Both anti-b and anti-fungal, it's a GREAT solution if you don't have meds. OK to use with pregnancy too, I was told. (and did)
GL! hope you get better soon!
Thanks Davez- I actually am quite the expert on yeast infections...used to get them recurrently after taking a nasty German antibiotic one time when I was here ( I ALWAYS get sick when I come here). I have used tea tree oil and vinegar before...the thing that works the best for me is boric acid in a capsule (which I never used to travel without). But, as you can see, there are NO stores open for me to get anything today. I told DH when no one is looking, I am going to soak a tampon in vinegar and stick that up there for 30 minutes or so. That's the best i can do on a Sunday. I really, really miss the convenience of the States!!
Oh- and I'm sure that some of you all would get a real kick out of seeing FIL's flaccid snausage flopping around...but that man and I just don't get along too well, therefore it is NOT funny to me...
I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!

That is really repulsive! I know you're a nurse, but that is SO SO WRONG!!!
I wish you the best in getting through your yeast infection and to surviving the rest of your so-called vacation. I'm waving my magic wand in hopes you won't remember what you've seen.
