in March 2011 Moms

last time DH and i had sex i thought my vagina was going to burst into flames!  (tmi?)  the nurse at my ob told me to try monistat7 so i started to use it a few days ago. i 've never had any experience wtih monistat so i'm not sure what to expect... it's a mess!  is this really going to work?  i am (TMI!) leaking the medicine now so i can't really tell whether the infection (or supposed infection) is actually clearing up... any advice?  this SUCKS!

    Did you use it at night before you went to bed?  I think you need to use it right before you go to bed and it stays in then in the morning you need to wear a pantie liner and it comes out.  You do it for 7 days and it should clear up.  You can also put some on your finger and put it on places that itch or burn on the outside of your vagina too, that doesn't cause a big mess.  It does suck but it is so much better than the itching.  I got my first yeast infection a few weeks ago (apparently pregnant ladies are more susceptible to it?), and I bought Monistat 7 but instead of using it (after reading the directions) I took a natural route and it went away.  You can just reduce your sugar intake and take a bath with a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar in the tub a few nights in a row.  Also sleep with no panties on, this lets air get to you, also wear cotton panties when you do wear panties.  I just felt a little strange bring pregnant and using such a strong med inside of me.  Hope you start feeling better!

    It does suck-and it's messy-make sure you wear a panty liner.

    Otherwise it's just something that you have to deal with for 7 days. It will go away soon! :)

    i have been trying to prevent yeast infection by eating yogurt everyday.  i think it is working. 

    yes.  pregnant ladies' immune systems are suppressed, so we are more suceptible to yeast infections.  yea!

    i'm not thrilled about using the meds while pregnant, but i'd rather take care of this for good than let it fester, you know?  i tried 'airing it out' and eating more probiotics (which m/s simply is NOT letting me do!) so for now, i trust the doc.  if his office says its okay, i feel that i have to trust them. i'm just PRAYING it works!  and i'm hoping so hard that come 2 weeks from now i'll feel better and can actually stomach yogurt again... at least something other than bread Embarrassed

    I've been struggling with this too.  Yes take it at night and it is kinda gross but it will work!  I did Monistat 1 the other day I was so frustrated with it all and had done the 7 day treatment a few weeks ago.  Everything went fine.  Argh stupid yeast.

    thanks- i'm so miserable about it.  we were just starting to have sex again after abstaining for a while too. this has done nothing to calm my nerves about starting up again!  that's a different message all together though :/
