18 weeks

So my doc put me on antibiotics which in turn left me with a yeast infection. I have never had one so I had no clue what to do. The pharmacist told me to use monistat 7. It just worries me to use anything. Any comments or suggestions?

Oh my doc said no oral medicine for a yeast infection while pregnant.

I hope not cause I hate this!

I heard monistat is fine, but when I was getting them all the time with my first pregnancy I always called a doc so he can give me something... thankk God I haven't gotten one with this pregnancy, because my doc says that once they occur usually they come back during pregnancy...

I had a yeast infection due to my antibiotics at 12 weeks. If you call your dr and tell him he can prescribe you a medication. Its only one pill but it works like a charm. My infection lasted for two days at the most after taking that pill ! Good luck !

My dr told me monistat 7 is ok when my antibiotic did the same thing to me. Im 21w6d... Good luck :) they are not fun

You should consult your doctor before treating a yeast infection with over the counter medicine ....I have heard that monistat is not healthy for the baby!
