I'll hit to grocery store on the way home from work for some plain yogurt!</p> <p>Thanks everyone else for sharing, I feel a bit more at ease that chances aren't blown for this cycle, fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1268287 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:41:39 +0000 erinpye 1268287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I had one right after O my last cycle- currently 31 weeks preg.</p> <p>ETA: I treated it with the external stuff for the itch, and took acidophilus, and ate plain yogurt every day until it was gone to treat it internally. I didn't use the internal cream because I didn't want to blow any BFP chances :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1268114 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:46:39 +0000 PurplePeony 1268114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a couple YIs while pregnant, too, and they're harmless to the baby but obviously uncomfortable. I had to use 7-day treatments, too, and was told the shorter ones aren't effective during pregnancy -- I guess the yeast might be harder to kill or something? Not really sure, but it seems to be the standard recommendation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1268075 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 16:42:08 +0000 Snowdrop 1268075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally get one about 7/8 dpo since coming off bcp. It clears up as quickly as it comes on with no treatment but I think it's just hormonal. Unfortunately not linked to a bfp for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1267980 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:20:24 +0000 mrs. 64 1267980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had chronic yeast infections since coming off bcp. I'm sure it is related to the hormones. If you feel that you have had 2 in the course of a few weeks, I would touch base with your doctor. Also, like swedishfish said, there are restrictions on what treatments you can use during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1267970 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:07:24 +0000 swedishfish 1267970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsk: maybe the medication is too concentrated? My OBGYN told me to use the seven day stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1267965 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:03:09 +0000 Beyond2 1267965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a yeast infection during my TWW! Unfortunately I've also had a second one during pregnancy and I'm only 20 weeks in. I'm extremely prone to them though and many times I would get one between ovulation and the start of my period (or pregnancy) due to the hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1267964 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:03:05 +0000 Mrsk 1267964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: thanks for the advice on the 7 day stuff. Is there a specific reason why? Just curious... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1267957 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 13:58:23 +0000 swedishfish 1267957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a yeast infection during my TWW but I had a few yeast infections while pregnant. Make sure you don't use the one day stuff if there's a chance you might be pregnant. I always used the seven day medication. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yeast-infection-and-bfp#post-1267953 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 13:54:59 +0000 Mrsk 1267953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had what I think was a yeast infection (felt exactly the same as all other ones I have had) on CD4-8 ish, I took over the counter stuff and it didn't really seem to clear up until like 4 days later....and now, I'm at 8dpo it is back, I think. I just started my first round of Clomid 50mg, unmonitored, this cycle and am wondering if this could have anything to do with it... We timed bd well. </p> <p>So I'm just wondering....do I still have a shot this cycle? Has anyone gotten a BFP on a cycle when they also had a yeast infection? Give me some hope! I'd really love a BFP for Christmas! </p>
