As in title i unfortunately have thrush. Had it before towards the end of my pregnancy with my last one.
I noticed this about at 5 weeks this time around, rang docs they said to buy a pessary and cream. I had read online you shouldn't use the pessary from shop and doc replied it was fine just dont put alot in or too far up. That night i had awful cramps whether that was from the tablet who knows. But it cleared up.
Anyway im now coming up to 11 weeks and again i have really bad thrush again.
Would you just get a pessary from shop or go docs? I just didnt know if they give something different from the shop. Only thing that is putting me off using caneston pessary is the pain i had last time but it may have been unrelated

Pessary is fine in pregnancy. Insert with finger rather than the applicator

Agree with PP about the pessary. I had it a few times with DS and was told not to take the pill but that's the pessary and cream was fine Smile x
