I've been getting thrush since I was about 20 weeks pregnant (Autumn 2014, DD just turned 1 this weekend), and was told it was hormonal and would go away after baby was born.
It hasn't, I've been getting it every month to six weeks for over a year now, and I'm currently in the worst round of it to date, swollen, red, fissures, the lot. I'm sat at work and can't do anything other than think about how much discomfort I'm in!
I had a Mirena coil fitted 12 weeks after having DD, and some threads say that this could be the issue, but I had one before getting pregnant and never had the problem. I've had swabs done this week at the GP, but I'm at my wits end for what to do!
I know I should've dealt with this a lot sooner, but I have been battling PND too, which took over so much of my life, and now this is affecting my mood too, I just want to sit and cry, except it hurts to sit!!!
