To Prayerful Wife

this is unbelievable!
i wrote yesterday about finally ovulating and looking forward to "doing the deed" with my husband... anyway, i think i started having a freakin' yeast infection or something.. (ya, it probably is a YI)... anyway, i couldn't enjoy it.... here we are, trying to make a baby and i couldn't even enjoy it.... it's still bothering me today.

do you think we should try again tonight? and will the monistat kill the sperm?

Oh that's a hard one.  I believe yeast is one of those infections that can be passed back and forth between you and your husband as soon as you clear it up if he gets it he'll have to be treated as well.  I dont think the monistat will kill the sperm b/c it doesnt contain monoxinol ( the same agent in lubricated condoms).  This sounds like a strecth and will probably be TMI but try masterbation and have him only penetrate you at the time he's ready to ejaculate!  Hopefull you'll get the same effect without the pain.  Let me know if that works.
