helps to cure it, huh? And if I can bring myself to orgasm, same thing?
I was clear for ages but I think I have it again...not sure, but the discharge has changed from clear to cloudy/yellowy again, doh! Might try to acidophilous capsules, as I have them at home and need to get more anyway. I like the idea of 'nuking' the area!
Bec - I sat on the news for a while and 20 weeks has sort of snuck up on me, too!
Yeah self help is probably better than other help If the discharge is cloudy though, you might want to see a doctor just in case (doesn't that sound like fun?) the yeast infection is being caused by another infection...especially if it has come back after a month or two.
well, today it began to be itchy so I'm seeing a doctor...again Bugger!
Definitely cloudy with white bits in it. Not good, huh? Will dose up on the acidophilous this morning, though, and I have some more coming in the post (online chemist).
Last time it turns out I had a Strep B infection at the same time, so I hope it hasn't come back because the later it gets, the less I'll be able for antibiotics...
Thanks for your help, girls!
Been to doc, results from swab not back but he reckoned it was thrush and I'm dosing up on Canesten internally, as well as using the acidoph. tablet in the morning.
Now, not sure if it was just coincidence, but the last time I treated for it, I'm pretty sure the same thing happened - I have noticed a smell coming from the skin on my hands. It's almost garlicky but I haven't had garlic for some days now! Is it related? Or is it to do with too much onion in my food?? I know that's a strange question, but it's even stranger to smell my hands, especially at night and the morning when it's strongest!
Hoping anyone can help me with that one...
So, the doc reckons to treat this bout of thrush with Canesten for 3 weeks...geez, that's a lot of liners. Thinking I might go the week (6 day treatment) and just do the acidoph. tabs from then on, twice a day.
Ugh, I hate this, but at least this time it's not ravaging me like the time I originally posted!
It's probably related Mayaness. When your system is overloaded you can usually detect it in other ways - especially when PG and with a highly sensitive sense of smell. Can you stomach garlic? It is actually helpful for thrush - i know women who treat thrush and various kinds of BV (bacterial vaginosis) with garlic. You can eat it (a small, whole clove, raw and peeled like a big tablet twice a day, or 2-3 roasted cloves mashed up (easier to stomach/get in) twice a day, or garlic tablets (you need more though) or even as a pessary (thread cotton through a peeled clove (don't cut it, even to remove the bottom!) and push it into your vagina, remove after 20mins, repeat twice a day)). I know 3 women who managed to make sure their StrepB status was -ve for birth using garlic regimes.
I've done the garlic once before, I can't remember when or what happened. In fact, it might have been last December (when I ovulated for the first time in over 3 years!), cos the memory isn't too old. The thread might have been too thin because it cut through the clove and I had to fish it out! I like garlic, just forgot to cook with it last night. Might make sure I get a good dose very shortly.
I'm pretty sure the smell is linked.
Your new username threw me, Bec!
sorry I havent read all the replys so might be just repeating here Maya...
have you tried natural yogurt this can help you have to eat and insert it...
Plus somewhere in the never reagens of my brian I think I can recall hearing that Men can carry thrush so DP could also be reinecting you each time you DTD... maybe he should be checked or at least use some protection until your all cleared up...
Hope you feel better soon ...
I cant believe you are already 20 weeks feels just like yesterday you told us... Gee this year is flying by...
