The midwife I saw for my yeast infection at the beginning of my pregnancy was pretty adamant about not giving me Diflucan. I didn't want to take it either, because I had read more negatives than positives about taking it while pregnant. Monistat was no picnic, I agree, but it did work! I did the 7-day treatment since they say it's harder for pregnant women to get rid of the infection.
@PhillymommaX2 that was actually my first pregnancy symptom this time around! I just ate activia yogurt and lots of those little yakult probiotic drinks and it cleared up. If you don't want to take anything OTC before taking to your doctor, you could start with some yogurt or probiotics
@PhillymommaX2@Peepster the pharmacist said the monistat 7 day one is gentler than the 4 day one... Basically you get the same amount of medication but the 7 day one has it spread out over 7 days vs 4 days for the other one. So the pharmacist recommended me to get the 7 day pack since I was pregnant.
I have a strange small growth on the inside of my left cheek in my mouth. Not getting worse and not getting better so far. Has anyone experienced anything like this while PG?
