    It could be that things are dry, are you breastfeeding?
    I would probably suggest you discuss it with your GP or GYN

    Yes I am still breastfeeding - does that make a difference?
    I know I should check with my doctor - it's just that the doctor's 2.5hrs away so I've been putting off going.

    Have you changed washing powder or soaps? maybe you have become sensitive to them? maybe try using a low allergy washing powder and a sent free soap....

    Yes breastfeeding can make things pretty dry down there.

    Do you have a local chemist? Maybe even chat with your Pharmisit. Thrush usually has a prettty obvious discharge.

    Is is just itchy or stingy burning as well?

    Thumbs up

    I found out whilst pregnant with my 1st bub that Thrush doesn't always have a discharge which I was surprised to find out from my GP, Midwives, OB & local Pharmist

    Thrush can be itchy & also burning (a bit red & swollen too) ... So, get yourself down to the chemist shop & get some CANESTEN cream (for thrush) ... It will help heaps
