    Sorry that you are feeling this way. I hope you feel better soon. I have to ask: did you go to your doctor or urgent care? Perhaps they can prescribe something for you!

    This may sound gross but I have heard that applying yogurt directly will help. I'm not sure if there are pregnancy related risks with this though.

    Sorry not much help I was told to use monistat 3. Had to do an extra day because it wasnt fully gone. I got mine due to antibiotics for a UTI. Iv never tried applying yogurt but like PP said it seems to help some girls.

    Oh forgot to mention, there is a pill that can be prescribed but not sure during pregnancy. Check with your doc

    Your doctor may be able to call in an rx of diflucan (sp). Mine also recommends monistat 7 day. Order Femdophilus probiotic. Feel better, i know that is miserable!

    My friend who gets chronic yeast infections takes boric acid supplements to treat and prevent them. Also she says Monistat 3 is not enough for bad ones, you have to go with the 7 day treatment.

    Also, it's very possible to give yourself BV if you've treated for a yeast infection. As you kill off the overgrown yeast, the natural bacteria in your vagina can build up too much, throwing you too far in the other direction. Go to your OB to be sure.

    I've given myself BV by using the yogurt method... Not a fun experience... If monistat 7 doesn't work, go to the Dr.

    This might sound totally weird and gross, but my friend is holistic and does all healing with natural remedies and is giving birth in January. She just had a bad yeast infection and after researching and consulting her midwife she did the following: got fresh whole garlic, scored it, tied a string around it with extra string so it also like a tampon string and then inserted it in her vagina at night when she slept. She would repeat this with a fresh garlic every night for a couple nights and she said it worked wonders and her yeast infection cleared right up. The only downside was that she could taste garlic somehow... lol

    Just a clove. Warning though, if you have BV or something more serious, this burns like hell.

    Just a Clove. And yes it doesn't sound real and I thought my friend was joking, but she was serious and it worked.

    Coming from somebody who sees people shove things in their vaginas that shouldn't on a regular basis ...just don't. I have had girls loose tampons ( for weeks because they are so embarrassed and or didn't realize it was still In there) talk about smell !!! I've had some have severe reactions to "self treatments" such as putting yogurt on a tampon or squirting some in there repeatedly to sit and fester until an infection gets so bad they need more than one drug to treat it. Garlic! That would be a first.
    Call your dr, dufflucan can help , don't douche and the ph and good/bad bacteria will regulate again on it own .

    Ahh, I forgot to put that on my list of things that gross me out. A retained tampon is literally the most disgusting thing I've ever dealt with; I would swab 100 dirty dicks every day if it garunteed I'd never be called on to assist with another retained tampon.

    Try cranberry juice. In my first trimester I had issues with horrible UTI/yeast infection pain. The couple times I went to the doctor they said no UTI so I thought it might be a yeast infection, I did the cream and it didn't help. My husband got me this organic cranberry juice from Whole Foods. It's made from just cranberries, with nothing else added, not even water, I don't think. It is VERY strong. It tastes horrible but I got through the whole bottle in a day or so and the pain went away and I haven't had problems since. I had to hold my nose, chug as much as I could and then eat some chocolate or something to get the taste out of my mouth. But it seemed to work.

    They also make cranberry tablets if the taste is too strong.
