Yeast infection!

So, I have this raging yeast infection. It's gotten a little better, but here are the treatments I've tried and it's still here after over a week (not itchy, just cottage-cheesy discharge):
Day 2: Monistat 1600mg one day dose
Day 4 & 6: diflucan 150 mg
Day 6,7,8,9: garlic clove inserted vaginally
Day 9: plain yogurt frozen and inserted vaginally
Meanwhile, I've been taking acidophilus pills every day, eating 2-3 cups of yogurt each day, wearing only cotton underwear and changing it twice a day. Ugh. I bought boric acid vaginal suppositories and tea tree oil but haven't use them bc ur not supposed to if ur pregnant. I don't know for certain if I am or not so I'm holding off till I get af.
Any thoughts? I'm getting very frustrated.

I went to the dr last Thursday which is when I took the diflucan, a prescription antifungal. I don't really want to take more diflucan though, I'm more interested if anyone has tried and true methods to get rid of stubborn yeast infections. Thanks for your response, Cassandra, I forgot to mention I had been to the dr :-/ oops! They tested and it is definitely a yeast infection.

if you have done treatments and it hasnt gotten any better i would go to a dr and get them to check it out, it could be something else. And maybe they can give you something for it.
