Yeast Infection

I had to take the antibiotic amoxicillin for a tooth problem for ten days. I finished the bottle as instructed. I developed a yeast infection while taking it. Once I finished the antibiotics I started the monistat 1 day treatment. While on the antibiotics I ate plain yogurt with live cultures in it to help with the itching and irritation. I went on my period a day or two after using the monistat. It has been 8 days since using the monistat and nothing has come out? Why is this? Did I do something wrong? Did I possibly cure myself kind of when I ate the plain yogurt while taking the antibiotics? I am confused. I have had a yeast infection before and I know that the medicine and yeast is suppose to come out when it is being removed by the monistat, yet nothing has happened yet. Please explain this to me. Thanks.

Hi!
It is possible that your period acted to flush your system.  If you are not having any symptoms, you probably did everything right!
Good luck!
