Severe vaginal itching and slight spotting?

[TMonster]

I had tiny bits of spotting off and on for a few days now. I called the doctors office on Friday when it first started but since it was brownish/pinkish and just tiny amounts only when I wiped, nothing on panties etc. they said I was fine and gave me the doctors cell in case it was red blood or I had severe cramping etc. Yesterday I started to have severe vaginal itching. I have no idea why. I took a warm shower and washed the area and it sort of calmed down.

I just went to the bathroom a few seconds ago and wiped and all was well, no spotting (the spotting only seems to happen once a day and I pee about 5 or 6 times a day at least) and I started having the itching again. I know its bad but I just took a paper towel to wipe again and I was somewhat aggressive with it since its so itchy and it felt a little better and now its burning slightly (I am assuming because I was a bit rough with the paper towel) but I also noticed a tiny bit of spotting on the paper towel again and I am getting a little freaked out.

Should I call/go to the doctors again or just shower and relax and wait till my scan on thursday?

I'd personally go, sounds like thrush to me and you'll want that treated sooner rather than later!

I called them, told them I think I have it and they said just wait till thursday and do nothing. Great. I need to deal with ichy vag and preggo hormones till thursday. Can I kill someone pretty please?

Sorry they weren't helpful!!

Perhaps try oilatum? If you can get it over there, idk. I suffered with recurrent thrush when I was younger and oilatum shower gel was such a help. My Doc also recommended aqueous cream but I could never on with that.

Omg, I had this in my previous pregnancy in my 3rd trimester. I was SOOOO friggin itchy and I couldn't help but scratch and I think I scratched so hard I made myself bleed. It felt good after scratching it but it burned at the same time. They told me I did have bacteria vaginosis and I supposedly got it after being admitted at 34 weeks for PROM (water breaking) and I guess from all the antibiotics. But it didn't go away and they didn't treat me. They said it was "mild" but it sure didn't feel mild. I read online it can also be my ph balance which tends to go off when you're pregnant. They say having sex helps so we did and it calmed it down, probably because it was so itchy inside lol.

I would see your doctor and get a test done and maybe he/she will be smarter than the doctor I had and give you something for it. I know how annoying it is.

I saw the doc, he prescribed me Terazol which is pregnancy class C and not even safe in the first trimester. I didnt take it. I ended up eating more yogurt and just applying some yogurt to the area and sitting in a bath with some baking soda. I am doing better already. I hate taking meds I dont have to and I am also on progesterone vaginal inserts now which increase the discharge. I am just gonna keep working the yogurt.

A yeast or bacterial infection can cause severe itching and some spotting as it irritates your cervix.
