Im on day 2 of 7 of montistat (i had to take antibiotics due to a uti which gave me the damn yeast infection... Haha just my luck) and am starting to notice a difference. (tmi i was super itchy and had cottage cheese lile discharge) not taking antifungal medication but montistat seems to be doing the job. 7 days is forever but they say the longer treatments work better for pregnant women since our immunity systems are not as strong as pre-pregnancy

I just recently found out that I also have it, but its not itchy or painful at all. I was surprised when the doctor told me because I didnt feel any different down there.

I havent picked up my medicine but what I been doing is washing myself down there every day with no perfume soap & wear clean pair of undies everyday.
