possible YI again?
Okay so, I looked through the archives and didn't really find anything out that answered my question. So here goes; any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm pregnant and I got my first YI about a month ago. I know from a lot of things that I read that during pregnancies, your prone to get more YI's than you would normally because of your horomone imbalance, but I'm pretty sure it was caused from antibiotics that I took that were prescribed to me for a kidney infection I was getting. Well, I did what everyone says I need to do when getting my first one by going to visit my gyno about the problem. She examined me and said it was definitely a YI and reccomended I get Monistat 3. She was originally going to do a culture for it (or whatever it is they do to test for YI's) but after she examined me she said she didn't need to.
I bought the cream the same day and started using it that night. I took all three doses the way I was supposed to. And for almost a week, everything was completely normal again. This was last week. However, for the past maybe, two days the itchiness has started back. There's no other symptom of a YI other than itch--- no smell, discharge colour is still normal.
So basically I'm just wondering, could I be getting a YI AGAIN? I know that being pregnant would possibly cause them to be more frequent, but I never had one even then until I took the week's worth of antibiotics. And the only symptom is the itch, which is driving me CRAZY. Also, could it just be a prolonged side effect from the cream, since the cream DID cause more itching when I was using it than the YI itself.
Thanks in advance!
