yeast infection

tlynnus · October 2008

Anybody had a yeast infection while pregnant and your OB told you okay to use over the counter monistat? I hate to call the exchange for such a stupid question.

I would call, because every doctor gives different advice about this.

My doctor told me to use the 1-day Monistat when I've had one. I've had 2 now since becoming pregnant. I was always prone to yeast infections pre-pregnancy too. I think that you can't take that pill when your pregnant so they have you do over the counter cream which I hate.

Although I'd check with your doctor because your doctor could give you a compltetely different answer than what my doctor gave me.

No advice for you but just wanted to say I'm sorry you have one.

They are so uncomfortable. Knock on wood, I haven't had one yet.

Thanks ladies. The doctor just called back and said the Monistat 1 is fine to use! I'm off to Walgreens...

I have used Diflucan a couple of times and Terazol 3 since being pregnant (both are Rx). My doc (a peri) gave them to me but my pharmacist didn't like it that I was taking the diflucan.
