My fourth ultrasound went well. They are bumping my follistim back up, to 125 for tonight. The doc said everything looks good, which was enough detail for me.
WARNING: TMI
I somehow developed a low grade yeast infection (I think), but the only symptom is the chunky white discharge. It was alot on Sunday, but now isn’t much. On Monday my OBGYN looked and took a culture that won’t be back until tomorrow (Friday). My RE looked today and said to treat with monistat and not worry about it. Of course I am worried about it anyway. I have never had a yeast infection, nor used monistat. I put the little capsule suppostitory in about 10 minutes ago, and am waiting for terrible things to start happening. The reviews online vary, but there are alot of women who experience quite a bit of discomfort using this drug. Thank goodness they seemed to be balanced by women who say it’s ok. I want to get rid of it and have a normal vagina for my ER. The doc said he’s never cancelled an ER due to infection, so let’s hope I don’t become the first!

A cup cake is coming your way… ***… did you get it???
Sorry about the yeast infection. I get them almost every time I take an antibiotic. I’ve never had any side effects from the monostat (you doing 1 day or more applications?).

Oh yikes. Here’s hoping you have a normal vagina for your ER. Never experienced the monistat thing myself, but it doesn’t sound pleasant.

Yup, antibiotics causes it for me, so I’m always reluctant to take antibiotics. So does eating a lot of sugar, so stay away from the sweet stuff. I wish I had known about that a decade earlier and I would have avoided all the itchy, nasty and unnecessary yeast infections I didn’t know where they came from. Since I found out, about ten years ago, they have very rarely been back. Mo.nistat is a piece of cake. No worries. Good luck with the ER! : )
