monistat-7 running out?

[irememberaurora.livejournal.com]

feel like i've been posting a lot lately. i've been having lots of vaginal angst and so here i am. (my fiance suggested i post here, which i found quite cute, especially since he referred to it as "vag-pag." he doesn't have LJ and has never been to the website, but has heard me mention it from time to time... though never as vag-pag.)

anyway, i started monistat 7 last thursday night and am supposed to insert an applicator-full into my vagina each night. my last night of this should be wednesday night well, i've been doing that, and obviously not overfilling the applicator (it's the disposables, if anyone's curious) since it's impossible to. also, it says i can put on some cream anywhere that's irritated or itchy, but i haven't. well, tonight i had to REALLY squeeze and i JUST barely got enough cream out to fill the applicator. i doubt i'll have an applicator-full tomorrow, and i probably won't have any at all on wednesday. i don't understand... shouldn't the tube have enough for a 7 day treatment? should i just use it all up in tomorrow's and try not to worry, or should i buy another kit just so i have enough for tomorrow and wednesday nights? i've been asymptomatic, so i can't even tell if i'm feeling better. i didn't even know i had it - i was told to treat it during a colposcopy, and the doc recommended 7 day treatment over 1 or 3 day.

also, who else likes or doesn't mind getting their period? when i used pads, i HATED getting it, and when i switched to tampons only, i didn't mind so much. however, once i started using the keeper this year, i actually don't mind at ALL getting my period. i'm considering progestin-only pills as well as the mirena IUD, and the thought of not getting my period makes me kind of sad. i mean, i know it's safe and all, and i am willing to forego my period in order to use one of those kinds of BC methods, but it's still just a little sad. i think i'd miss having my period.

that sucks. .... I was reading thet site where they made lil yogurt pops to make insertion easier. I thought that was a cool idea. no pun intended haha. I've never had a non- symptomatic yeast infection diagnosed... must not have been too awfully bad or you surely would have noticed it. I hope it gets better soon. Im sure it's kind of annoying that the treatment is hurting you when the sickness you weren't even aware of.

yeah, it's like when i got my wisdom tooth out. it was a simple procedure done under local anesthetic by my dentist, not the more involved one that other people go through... but the tooth growing in all weird never bothered me, and then he took it out and it swelled up and hurt for a month.

i think i'm going to try to finish off the monistat tonight/tomorrow as best i can, and then if i wind up having problems with it from not finishing up the treatment, i'll try out the yogurt. and in the meantime i will TRY to cut down my sugar intake as gracecat suggested.
