Has anyone used monistat?

[Jennyyyyy]

I am using monistat 7 and I did 3 nights so far. When will I start feeling relief???

I already took dilfucan (sp?) twice! this has been going on for over a month now, I am also 7 weeks pregnant and I just want it gone and stop putting chemicals in my body

btw I have already tried every single home remedy =[.

I used the Monistat 3 day and it worked really well.  I was using a pretty high dose of probiotics at the same time and (trying) to limit sugar.  I'm also pregnant and I think it makes it harder to get rid of.  I was taking a garlic supplement too...like 8 a day.  Good luck.  It is no fun.

I am also taking pearls probiotics, and eating raw garlic everyday, also I cut sugar and processed foods out of my diet, it's so hard with morning sickness because I know bread and crackers are suppose to help but they have yeast in them!

 Oh no that is terrible.  Has your Dr/midwife checked for other types of infections such as bacterial vaginosis?  I would think that if it were a yeast infection it would have been cured by the drugs you have taken!  Pregnancy does make you more susceptible to yeast infections:(

Yeah, I second the BV suggestions.  The symptoms are really similar to yeast infection.  

Other than that - hugs.  I had some hard to shake yeasties when I was pregnant too.

Only other suggestion is try to air out your crotch area.  Sleep without panties so you get some breeze.

I've never used Monistat, but have used natural treatments. It might be a bit too TMI to describe it here, but check out the Women to Women on vaginal yeast infections for something called the "yogurt dip". For me, it worked! http://www.womentowomen.com/urinaryincontinence/vaginalyeastinfections.aspx
