Anyone have problems gettig rid of thrush?
Hi everyone
Sorry to ask AGAIN but i can't take much more of this! I have now had thrush on and off for 8 or 9 weeks and its getting ridiculous! I used vagisil cream first, then natural yogurt and then i went doctors and got prescribed a pessary.Every one of the above seem to have worked for a few days and then it comes back again the itching and soreness! I never had thrush before getting pregnant so im not sure what works the best, especially now.Did any of you have problems getting rid of it whilst pregnant? How did you finially get rid of it? I have stopped using shower gels and stuff down there just been using unperfumed soap.When i used the pessary i didnt use a cream with it as i wasn't told to, should i have used a cream?
thanks in advance for your help

let me know how you get on xx
i am 34+4 weeks and had thrush for what seems like forever!! about 13 weeks now. i started just using cream and it went but came back so went to mw who got gp to prescribe me canesten cream as its rather expensive!! just told to keep using it. also havent had sex with OH since as its to painful. i know how u feel about the soreness as its woken me up at night before now. just keep applying the cream when u get some but get it in prescription as obviously its free!!!! i know its not nice but just keep on with trhe cream.
hope it settles soon xx

I've had it for 3 weeks now and it is getting a bit better but it's terribly annoying!
I was prescribed a pessary and clotrimazole cream (which is the same as canesten, just not branded), and I continued using the cream for a week which seemed to get rid of it initially - whenever it starts irritating again I just use some more cream which tends to ease it.
It'll get better once you've had the baby!
Is it harder to get rid of during pregnancy then? Im on day 2 of using canestan cream and it is getting beter but im not going to get caught this time, im going to make sure i carry on using it for atleast few days after symptoms seem to go! I thought unperfumed soaps were ok? Is it ok just to use water, doesn't seem very clean lol.I was thinking of picking up some feminine wash in town on thursday to use for rest of pregnancy to try to prevent it! Does anyone use something like this? Is it any good? Or still not reccomended?

i had annoying recurring thrush last year for ages and I eventually stopped using soap, cut out baths with bubble bath and cut way down on sanitary products - as in pads instead of tampax wherever possible, and not using pantyliners anywhere near as regularly - I think it was them that was the main problem. I now use cloth pantyliners if I need them and once baby arrives I'm going to try the mooncup instead of tampax. I've been fine so far since I started all of that. Hope that helps
