I would ask the pharmacist at the drug store what they recommend. i think i just used the regular 3-day one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1059693 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 05:31:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1059693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry you are dealing with one more thing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1059635 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:37:26 +0000 deactivated_account 1059635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. YIs are awful. So sorry for you either way. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1059609 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 23:34:30 +0000 birdofafeather 1059609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get YI pretty often (yuck!) so I ramp up on probiotics rather than doing monistat or something similar. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1059590 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 23:06:26 +0000 travelgirl1 1059590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had a yeast infection the month I got pregnant - I think I also gave it to DH and I remember it was quite uncomfortable for both of us but I made us BD three times during ovulation and it worked :happy: So I don't think you're out, don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1059534 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:02:06 +0000 PurplePeony 1059534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also told the 3- and 5-day creams don't work during pregnancy, but the 7-day Monistat or Gyne-Lotramin creams are safe and effective.</p> <p>ETA: I don't know how the creams would affect trying to get pregnant, but maybe wait a day or two to see how the YI symptoms develop, and hopefully that will get you past the important days? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1059501 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:17:07 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1059501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking at your chart, I think you may have already O'd (though the OPK is misleading, so we'll see tomorrow). I also think its fine to use the cream. Though maybe google for some natural remedies if you're worried about it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1058905 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 13:21:50 +0000 swedishfish 1058905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor just preferred me to use the seven day OTC treatments instead of the three or one day doses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1058901 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 13:20:50 +0000 ninja 1058901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know when I had a YI during pregnancy, I was told by my doc to use 7 day monistat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1058891 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 13:12:56 +0000 Andrea 1058891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a yeast infection while pregnant and my doctor said it was ok to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1058886 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 13:08:42 +0000 marionberry 1058886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take the medicine. I read that YI's are really common in pregnancy and OTC creams are perfectly safe. They just don't recommend the pills. But maybe consult your doctor? Oh and maybe dtd a little before using the cream so there's no interference? Once they get past your cervix you should be good to go I would think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-of-course-something-else-goes-wrong#post-1058865 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 12:59:48 +0000 pui 1058865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I either just O'd or am about to O and I think I am coming down with a yeast infection. I don't have any itchiness/uncomfortableness but I do have discharge that indicates a YI may be flaring up.</p> <p>What should I do? On the off chance that I did already O and may have conceived, I'm a little wary about using an over the counter YI treatment as I normally would. Also, if I have not yet O'd, will the yeast kill all the sperm eliminating any possibility of getting KU this cycle? Am I out? </p>
