I have been on Yaz for almost a month now. Within the first week I developed a yeast infection. I saw my ob/gyn and have now taken 2 rounds of Diflucan, a seven day (vaginal) prescription treatment, and now another vaginal treatment that is one dose (still waiting to see if that one helps). I recall getting chronic yeast infections while taking Yasmin several years ago, although at the time I didn’t see the connection. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the hormone DRSP which is found in Yaz/Yasmin.

Anyone have the same problem? Were you able to tollerate any other BCP’s? I am interested in Loestrin 24, for the possibilty of short, light, or no periods. Also, the 24 active pills are supposed to decrease symptoms of PMS. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

I started treatment for a yeast and bacterial infection…my doctor prescribed my some antibiotics and vaginal gel. before i started the treatment the only symptom that I had was a fishy odor now that I have started the treatment i now have white cottage like discharge which I did NOT have before I started to take the medication is this suppose to happen?

Ok today is Thursday and I woke up with a horrible yeast infection on Monday. I am positive it is a yeast infection.. I am 32 and have had a couple and bv and I know the difference.. Anyway I bought Moinstat 3 ovule and used it Monday night. Woke up the next Morning and OMG I could not walk or sit.. very raw, itchy and swollen. So I called my ob/gyn on Tuesday and she prescribed me 3 diflucan. I took it Tuesday and I used the Monistat Tuesday night and was some better Wednesday morning. Then Wednesday night I put the Monistat external cream on after my bath and I itched so bad I thought I was going to throw up, so I did not use the final treatment last night. My question is.. my yeast infection is better.. but I am still a little raw and itchy on the external part mostly the labia area. Do you think this is normal? Or should it all be gone by now.

I asked if any one has ever used it, not how you get a yeast infection nor how to prevent them. I am fully aware of those issues. I am very sensitive to certain soaps and used one at a friends house without thinking. Which of course caused my ph balance to go "off whack". My ob/gyn says because of my sensitive condition, maye it would be best to try ahomeopathic treatment. I just wanted to know if anyone ever tried that product. Thanx alot guys!
