Water intake

You're going to laugh.... but I'm putting it out there anyway.

I've heard fresh garlic, peeled and uncut, used as a suppository for the v-jay-jay can work wonders for thrush or other infections/imbalances in that department. I am dead serious. I'm sharing this with you because I think you've come to accept and be ok with my oddness.

Gives a whole new meaning to garlic breath........ lol.

I haven't tried it yet, but will let you know if I'm in a position to do so LOL. I also find on thirsty days if I eat ice cubes it helps me not to go too crazy drinking and peeing and drinking more. I also craved icecubes like mad until I started on iron pills. My MW said this was a symptom of low iron, very weird. I still eat them though because I like the way they crunch. And I like the way the air in my freezer smells.

Yes. I smell things. Strange things

Good luck!

Forshelby - that's not the first time I've heard that! Lol! I just can't bring myself to do it... Haha. I did a big google search when I had thrush in the 1st trimester, and found both good and bad reports on the old' garlic trick. :/
I never knew the ice could indicate a need for iron.. Interesting! I've had on/off cravings or ice!
