I have thrush that never ever goes. Just before I got pregnant (took a while) the gp prescribed 3 lots of the 'once' tablets to take each month just after my period finished to see if that would get it out of my system. Typically, I then got pregnant the next month so couldn't use them.
I've been using the cream 2/3 times a day for months and whilst it generally keeps it under control it never goes. I also have the really bad occasional flair up. One gp I saw said I could try using a peasary each day three days in a row to see if that gets rid of it. A different gp hadn't heard of that but did give me a prescription for 3 pessaries after checking with her colleague (the original gp). I'm now worrying that maybe this isn't really safe (doing three in three days) when pregnant, especially as one gp (not young and new) really wasn't sure about it? I'm nearly 13 weeks. Anyone experienced similar and been told it's safe to do.
I do take a probiotic and acidophilus tablets every day but they've really done nothing to help, so I should probably stop wasting my money. I just want to get back to normal and be able to have sex that's not uncomfortable.
