Thrush :(

[Smoke Jaguar]

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.

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...

Hi Mayaness,

I get thrush a lot normally let alone when I'm pregnant. I changed from using soap to using a sorbolene wash and it made a HUGE difference. Anything with soap in it or fragrance sets me off. Hope that helps. It's awwwful. Hugs to you :-s

If you have a bath, try adding 1/2 cup vinegar and 2-3 drops tea tree oil.

i used to suffer thrush very badly, especially in the warmed months. mainly cause of sweat and all the beer i was drinking lol.
however i used to find the 6 day canisten treatment works great.
comes with a cream and 6 seringes, and u insert it in the vagina. Suprisingly it really gets it up there lol. The cream wouldnt come out for like 20 hours.

You just gotta make sure ur partner is treating himself also, as that was my main problem to begin with. I was having intercourse with him, and treating myself, thinking that would be enough, however he must have had it also, as i managed to get it again only a week later.

Its so terrible hey, especially when ur in a shop or something, and all you wanna do is SCRATCH

so far, fingers crossed, i havent had it during my pregnancy, i couldnt imagine how bad it would be having it when giving birth vaginally.....the burning from thrush is bad enough, let alone on top of giving birth :/
