Yeast infection vs. Pregnancy

I was just at the doctor 2 days ago and was diagnosed with a yeast infection. Is it ever possible that this was misdiagnosed and i could be pregnant? Not late yet, no other symptons - maybe just paranoid.

sorry - i guess this should really be in the women's health section. first time on this site.

pg symptoms and yeast infection symptoms (as far as i know) don't mimik each other at all.

so probably not.

Im sure the doctor would know the difference between the two!
If you thought you were pregnant did you mention this to the doctor?
Usually yeast infection you would have discharge, itching maybe, dryness.
While early pregnancy sometimes shows no symptoms, maybe morning sickness or no period.

I got one early in pregnany....around 10 weeks....I had no symptoms at all.  My dr did an internal for one of my checkups and noticed then.  Maybe they are related somehow.

funny
the first time I had a yeast infection the doctor was drilling me about the possibity of being pregnant  (this was nmaybe in 1987?)  he was adamant that I should entertain teh possibilty.  (so tehy must somehow be related?

I had a little spotting between periods and also on the day I went in, but she assumed it was the start of my period, even though I told her it would be a couple days early. I never had a yeast infection before, so just wondering if the odds increase if you are pregnant (even at the beginning) - if I should be concerned yet. Thanks for all your comments.

When I became pregnant with my third baby I had a yeast infection just as I found out I was pregnant. I have battled with it since then, my dr. said that it was use to the hormonal changes while you are pregnant. So maybe they are linked for some people,
