    See your doctor. They will give you a safe med.

  • Interesting that my OB list has monistat as the “preferred” agent to treat a YI. If a “natural remedy” worked, they would have said so. Please call your doctor. 
  • I’m waiting to hear back from my doctor, just curious in the meantime
  • You definitely want your doctors advice here while you’re pregnant. You need something that will actually clear it up and not just mask symptoms. 

    That being said, I get YI’s externally near my clitoris before my period and use coconut oil. Between that and starting my period, it *usually* clears up on its own. But not always and I have a cream from my doctor to use as back up. 
  • I know boric acid is NOT recommended. So don't try that. I think it can cause uterine contractions. 

    Best bet is to call your doctor and GO IN to verify it's truly a YI. A lot of the meds can be contraindicated first trimester, so you want to have a good discussion with your doctor about risks and benefits.
