Thrush? Is it constant or do symptoms flare up and down?

[Countrymumma91]

I've never had thrush before but I think I have it now (awaiting swabs from the doctor to confirm)

Sometimes my symptoms are very bad and other times non existent throughout the day. Is that normal?

I usually do find that my symptoms flare - I have some moments when I question whether I even have thrush and others when it's all I can feel!

Yes, I find it’s usually worse at night and early in the morning.

I wouldn’t be waiting for the swab to come back if you think you have thrush - buy some Canestan (you can buy the pessary / tablet over the counter). They’ve taken the swab before you’ve had the treatment so you’ll still know if you’d had it or not and the treatment won’t do any harm if you don’t.
