Have really bad thrush the last 4 days and canesten 200mg pessary once a day isn't budging it at all

Please has anyone any tips to shift this

Probiotics! As in probiotic pills, or ideally pessaries. They work better than canesten for me and are easier on your skin as well.

I had to go on diflucan (oral anti-fungal medication) plus lotramin (anti-fungal cream for athelete's foot). My midwife prescribed it although there are scary internet buzz about taking diflucan in the first trimester, it's viewed as safe by my health providers.

First pregnancy, only 1 yeast infection. This one I'm on my third.

Also trying probiotics (in pill form and from kefir). Yesterday I started decreasing my sugar intake. Also sleeping without underwear. Sigh. It sucks, but can be normal in pregnancy. I just hope this isn't an early indication of GD for me since I've been gaining weight quicker than I'd like.

I don't get it often but i have had thrush in the past and i am allergic to the cream and pessaries The only thing that helps me is the oral tab, but i don't know if you can take that when preggo, apparently natural ( i would avoid flavoured ones ) yoghurt is a big help!

yoghurt helps a ton ... also not bathing in bubble bath or using fragranced soap relieves it somewhat
