Yes monistat 7 day. My Dr said avoid it in the first trimester, that's all.

Yes it's safe and the longer treatment is better. I had one like single month of my pregnancy. It ***** bad.

I'm right there with you!!! Yes monistat or the off brand is recommend the seven day treatment is the one you'll want to use. The shorter treatments don't work as well and can irritate you more and has a higher chance of coming back with shorter treatment. I'm battling yeast so bad right now I hate it, can't kick it at all.
