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.
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?

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.

I had a yeast infection while pregnant and my doctor said it was ok to use.

I know when I had a YI during pregnancy, I was told by my doc to use 7 day monistat.

My doctor just preferred me to use the seven day OTC treatments instead of the three or one day doses.

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?

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.
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?

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 
So I don't think you're out, don't worry!

I get YI pretty often (yuck!) so I ramp up on probiotics rather than doing monistat or something similar. Good luck!

Oh man. YIs are awful. So sorry for you either way.

I had a yeast infection the month we conceived in fact it was a few days after i O'd. I would ask the pharmacist at the drug store what they recommend. i think i just used the regular 3-day one
