[gracee10]

HI, im pretty sure i have a yeast infecction but i dont want to use monistat yet because i have not got my period this month, might be pregnant... is it safe? thanks for your answers!

i there if you are pregnant it is safe to use the monistate seven day, that was all I was aloud to use while pregnant I think I got 2 or 3 yeast infections while pregnant.  I would test or wait until your period stops and then wait till your period is over to use the monistat b/c its not effective if using while on your menstraul cycle. Good luck hun!

Just ask your pharmacist what they recommend. I was recommended Canestan and mine told me that a pregnant woman shouldn't use anything until they are past their 12 weeks or so. Try cold compresses for now until you can find treatment.

I use AZO for my yeast infections they have a pill you can take that gets rid of AND prevents infections. I get them about every two or three months and AZO works great but I'm not sure about while pregnant, but I'm 5 weeks and that is one of the first questions on my list of things to ask the doc about, I know I didn't really answer your question but hopefully you will keep AZO in mind!!! Good Luck!! And Congratulations on being pregnant!!!!!!

My doctor also recommended Monostat for a yeast inf. while I was pregnant.

i'm 5w 4 d prego,got yeast infection at the very beggining of the pregnancy. I used clotrimazole pessaries(viginal pills)for 6 nights. It was safe and the yeast was gone by the 4th pill.i did finish the course though.

I have consulted my OB about this (I'm 19 weeks pregnant) and she recommended Monistat or other over the counter treatments, so I would say it is safe to use during pregnancy. I haven't used it yet, though. She also recommended getting the 3- or 7-day ones because the 1-day might not be as effective. Hope this helps.
