    i am significantly further along than you and have had thrush a few times this pregnancy - have used the pessaries each time - as long as you don't feel pain when you insert them, you should be fine - just use at night and don't push too high (use your index finger, not middle finger etc) - i also have the cream for using as mine is both internal and external, so i use a small amount of that like a lubricant.... they are safe - and make things a lot more bearable than a nasty thrush infection!

    I have had thrush 3 times this pregnancy....and ive used pessaries every time. I got thrush well after the 12 week mark though....so i can understand your concerns at inserting the pessaries and only being 7 weeks.
    BG's advice is spot on.....also i have been taking inner health plus (about $22 for 25 capsules). Its really helped with the thrush. I also have my yoghurt once a day now....havent had thrush for nearly 10 weeks now.....

    Good luck.....
