Thrush

Envy the title of the thread says it all. I'm 8 weeks and I have thrush. Has anyone got any recommendations for clothing in this winter weather? It's so rubbish as I have work and limited to what I can wear. I used a pessary the night before so I'm hoping it's working it's magic, I have the cream and I have natural yoghurt too! Just wish it would bog off

I feel you're pain, I knew I was pregnant this time around because of thrush - it's the most miserable thing to deal with.

I have an over sized cotton jump suit which was the most comfy thing to wear for me, just a cheapy from H&M. I think I used four pessaries in a row this time around. Four. That coconut oil helps with the soreness and itchyness too.

Hope it passes quickly xxx

Thanks @Murderino I don't have many symptoms of it but the slight itching on the outside and a little soreness. I'm just fed up of it now. Trying to eat better, very hard when you want something sweet Hmm and I even ate some natural yoghurt yesterday. I hope it passes for u too soon! I've had to use 2 pessaries so far

I know it sounds silly but have you tried washing your underwear without fabric conditioner. Has worked for me.

@cja06 no I haven't.. I have just been washing my underwear with the powder no conditioner in case it was irritating me at a 60 wash. I may try it. Something tells me though it's my hormones Sad
