Thrush - can I take a second pessary if the first didn't work?

I know I have thrush, it's definitely thrush. And I know why I have it (I have v sensitive skin and am allergic to latex and was fitted for a diaphram last week using latex ones as they were unable to fit me with non latex so it's a result of that).

Used pessary on Sunday evening and still using the cream and although helped it hasn't been shifted (usually would have been significantly better by now).

For some reason I'm sure I can take a second pessary if the first one doesn't quite do the job, but can't find much specific about this online. Has anyone had experience of this?

I know you'll tell me to see my GP, but I'd rather sort this at home/GP is super busy and I can't wait.

Yes you can take for as many as 9 to 10 days on the trot. Sometimes even that doesn't shift it though!
