I don't usually eat or drink anything sugary, no sweet tooth here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-but-need-advicerecos-possible-yeast#post-236245 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:22:00 +0000 hellobeeboston 236245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks @highwire: I didn't think about the hydration thing -- although I drink so much as it is (hence the too much peeing!)...</p> <p>yeah - i used to get these a lot, but found out I had celiac and after going gluten free the YI's pretty much cleared up - it was crazy... I thought I was done! I used to take Diflucan - but I don't feel safe taking it pregnant so I'm not sure how to treat since the monistat is so irritating :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-but-need-advicerecos-possible-yeast#post-236242 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:21:17 +0000 MaisyMay 236242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of fluid to flush out as much yeast as possible, cut back on sugar to delay the yeast growth. Not much else to suggest. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-but-need-advicerecos-possible-yeast#post-236220 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:13:23 +0000 DillonLion 236220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay hydrated! That's my best advice. Cranberry juice too, if you want (but that might just be for UTIs)</p> <p>I'm so sorry. Yeast infections are so uncomfortable. I had a year's span where I was plagued with them, UTIs and another vaginal infection because I was working out all the time, dieting, having too much sex, and not staying hydrated. It was nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-but-need-advicerecos-possible-yeast#post-236211 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:10:04 +0000 hellobeeboston 236211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hi - my most annoying pregnancy side effect has definitely been dealing with yeast infection issues. I'm 27 weeks now.</p> <p>UGHH. I had one a couple months ago that was typical - treated it with a 3-day treatment. Then about a month later I thought it returned, started a 7-day treatment which led to some scary bleeding, I went in, and everything was fine &amp; they told me to stop using the 7-day monistat.</p> <p>I've been trying to eat tons of yogurt, I always wear cotton underwear, etc etc...</p> <p>But now today - I wake up and am feeling some itchiness - NO discharge at all today - none, i feel really dry - and typically I've had a lot of discharge since getting preggo anyway.... so I used a little external monistat this morning, have been feeling "uncomfortable' down there --- and noticed some brown spotting this afternoon.</p> <p>I'm sure it is related to the irritation I am feeling -- the baby is moving around a ton, so I'm not too worried about him.</p> <p>But - my question - What can I do?!?! Dr's office is closed, I will call in the morning.... I can't use the monistat since it irritates me, perhaps even the external cream caused some irritation today? Although the spotting is brown &amp; very scant, so I feel like the cream may not have caused the spotting so quickly. Whats weird is I felt fine yesterday, and all of a sudden today.... </p> <p>Anyway - any reco's? I'm hoping my Doc can recommend something tomorrow - like a cream or something. Not sure if it's yeast because I have zero discharge.</p> <p>I did have to pee about 8,000 times yesterday &amp; today - I wonder if wiping so much caused some irritation? Since getting pregnant I feel like I have an UBER-Sensitive "Queen Victoria"</p> <p>Woah - sorry -- very long, and THANKS in advance. </p>
