You can also do the yakult tampon with natural live yogurt too, or stick acidophilus capsules (you can get them in healt stores, they dissolve with body heat, you're supposed to swallow them but they'e safe to do this with too) up there twice a day. You basically want to use the good bacteria to nuke the candida.

FWIW it's not because of the sex (though you would be wise to have DP treat himself too - yogurt or yakult or canasten cream on the glans - since it can be passed back and forth between you) it's because the PH balance in the vagina changes, there are more sugars available in your body fluids (from blood to sweat and everything in between) and that gives the thrush plenty to eat. Cutting down on refined sugars can help if you're having a lot of it, but i doubt you are.

And honey how long have i been away? How on EARTH did you get to be 20 weeks pregnant so suddenly!?
