Possible yeast infection

[casey119]

I get yeast infections somewhat frequently, probably about 3 or 4 times per year for the last two years or so. I know the signs, I know the symptoms, and I usually treat them with Monistat and have successful results.

Last night, I used the Monistat One-Time Ovule for the first time instead of the Seven-day Cream. The package says the Ovule takes three to seven days to work. I guess my question is, has anyone ever used this product before, and if so, did it work in closer to three or seven days?

I am asking this question because about 18 hours after using the Ovule, I am still exhibiting typical yeast infection symptoms and I am miserable. I sort of want to go buy the Seven-day Cream and start using it only because I know it works. I bought the Ovule because I thought it got rid of all symptoms much quicker than the cream. Bottom line, I'm wondering it it would be harmful to use two different Monistat products at the same time.

Thanks for any and all responses!

Thanks so much for that suggestion! Because I get these so frequently, that might be something to ask about. I'll definitely keep that in mind at my next gyno appointment!

I dont know anything about the creams, have never used them. But my doctor has given me a pill to use in case I get yeast infection as a side effect of the antibiotic that I am taking. It is only one pill and it says it works within 24 hours. You may want to ask about the pill from your doctor, it seems easier that the 7-day cream. hope you feel better soon.
