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 just got my pills to insert for my infection but i had sex earlier today. I was wondering should i still start the medication, because my doctor said not to have sex for 6 days. I think she meant not to have sex if i already started the treatment because it is for 6 days but am not really sure. Should i start it tonight or tomorrow night?
Oh yea and can my partner get it. it was unprotected sex because am pregnant.

I’ve had yeast infection since March because of antibiotics (I had to take a few treatments). First time Diflucan helped, but after another antibiotic the infection came back but never went away. I tried some vaginal creams to treat the infection and it didn’t help. My gyno put me on a 6-month treatment with Diflucan (1 pill every week for 6 months). I already took 4 pills and it’s not even getting better at all. It’s not too bad, it doesn’t itch at all, it doesn’t hurt when i have sex but there’s a lot of white discharge. And it’s kinda weird because sometimes i feel like i don’t have it anymore but later the same day the discharge comes back. And everytime we have sex, my boyfriend’s penis is covered with this white stuff, it’s just disgusting, man. My doc sent the culture to the lab and they confirmed that it’s yeast.
Have you ever had this kind of problem before and how did you get rid of it?
Thank you all
