12 wks pregnant. Right after my obgyn visit (doc said I had no issues whatsoever), I got a really bad yeast infection. I believe it was a reaction to the ultrasound gel left inside of me...I called the doctor, and the nurse said I should treat myself with either Monistat 3 or 7 day. I did some reaseach online and some people are saying that it may not be safe so early in pregnancy. There have been many cases of miscarriage after treatment with suppositories. What have you guys done to treat yourselves?

- Ultrasound gel doesn't go inside you. It's an outside procedure. I find this post disturbing.

  - of course it does. There are two kinds of ultrasounds.

  - "disturbing" you are a fool! There are two kinds of ultrasounds and of course the gel goes inside you for the vaginal one.

- 12 weeks is no longer early pregnancy. go for the 7 day as it's a lower dose over a longer time. yeast infections can be difficult to get rid of during pregnancy but the topical is really the only tested option. herbal treatments, etc. are untested and in my experience i wanted something tested when i was pregnant

- I used Monistat while pregnant and it was okay. Dr. had said it would be fine.

- I used plain yogurt, seems to work fine, no chemicals.

- There's an oral medication which is amazing. One pill, and yeast infection is gone. I forgot the name; it's in a pink package & your OB should know about it. You just need to check about pregnancy usage. BTW--be sure to try yogurt too. The natural stuff like Stonyfield (not the processed stuff).
