Immune system fail

Anyone else having an immune system that is just not functioning?? I found out I was pregnant at 9dpo and right around then my throat was sore and glands swollen for four/five days. Went away on its own. Started a mild yeast infection then as well.
Now I am 24dpo (coming up as 5 weeks tho on the app) and I've got a sinus infection (tmi- but the stuff coming out of my nose is dark brown and green), and still have the mild yeast infection. I've been taking cloves of garlic(natural antibiotic) to try and fight the infection and am now using a Neti pot, and even tried doing the vaginal "garlic insert" to improve the yeast infection (just, ick, I know!). I did just take an extremely lengthy international trip last week, so that likely didn't help, in addition to hanging out with my two year old (read: plague monkey) nephew the last few days, but man.... It's enough already. I haven't taken any antibiotics or Monistat/etc-- it's really too early in the pregnancy to start all that I think. Besides, I'm still out if the country- i.e. No dr.
I've heard that pregnancy can suppress your immune system, but I didn't have anything like this my last pregnancy. That said, I've had to take three courses of major antibiotics over the last 3 months to deal with the after effects(multiple d+c's) of the last pregnancy so maybe my internal flora is still screwed up?
Anyone else having similar issues???
