Thrush - Advice Please
Im 18 weeks 4 days and have thrush (again - 4th time since falling pg) and last night i used the canesten pessary - i was extra careful when inserting and everything seems ok at the moment but the first doctor i saw told me NOT to use it, and the doc i saw a couple of weeks ago said it was ok..
Has anyone else used the pessary when pregnant?????

"Hi the only time ive heard of Thrush is when a person is HIV positive?
I worked in a Medical Ward with Hiv and Aids pateince, Have you been checked for that?
Not saying you have it but its very common in that.. "
I NEVER ASKED FOR THE CAUSES OF THRUSH!!!!!!
Its a yeast infection which is VERY coomon in pregnancy and is caused by a hormone imbalance.
I simply asked if anyone had used the pessary treatment when expecting
Am i wrong to find this incredibly rude or are my hormones just causing me to take offence???
It said on the leaflet that came with it not to take in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy but that it was fine any time after that. Only my GP said not to use the applicator as it might make you bleed. She said it was unlikely to cause harm though, just worry!
I'm sure its fine!! And lol about the HIV positive thing! Stupid people. I think most women have had thrush at some point xxxx
I totally sympathise with you. Ive had it for over a month now ! I went to the doctor as the chemist wouldnt give me canesten and he only gave me cream. Cream worked on the outside but of course it was still on the inside so i needed something to go inside.
It has taken my midwife and doctors over a month to sort this out and it is really bad now.
If i could have done it again i would have just bought the canesten pessary.
If you leave it go it becomes the bain of your life!

And as for the dreaded itch....................... its gradually disappearing as the day goes on!!
I feel free again lol xxx
If only the horrid chalky residue would disappear
