Totally TMI:
I have a yeast infection. Ew. Haven't had one in years, but this one is so bad I want to cry and claw out my vagina.
I bought Monistat 3 Day to the tune of $17 on Thursday at the Gates of Hell (Wal Mart). I have always hated the three day ovule, but the aisle was crowded, my 10 year old was asking what I was doing, and I just grabbed the first three day box I saw. I was and am still embarrassed to buy any sort of feminine products (to make things worse, I saw my DAD in line that day. Karma is a vengeful bitch!).
I use it, it gets mildly better, but is still present (sometimes to the point of almost crying - if only out of frustration).I checked the box last night to see the active ingredient because I'm clearly not getting 100% better and maybe another active ingredient would do the trick. The effing box expired in January. I'm considering sending an email to complain/vent, but really, am I then going to use coupons or cash a refund check from MONISTAT? I think not.
Soooooo, I happened upon a thread about this same subject last night on MC. Multiple posters suggested sticking a garlic clove up the vagina for one or two day relief. Or possibly plain yogurt.
Would you do this? I'm worried I'll emit a foul smell at work tomorrow, but DAMN I need some relief.
LOL, I thought this too, and then some of the women chuckled about sending a Lego Man up after it. Can you imagine?!?!?! hahahahaha
Quoting pengipants:Ummm what if it gets lost up there?!?! Can you imagine the embarrassment at the hospital "Well Dr. I shoved garlic up my vag, no I wasn't making garlic bread with the yeast and the garlic." I could see this ending up bad.
The cream helps with the pain a lot. I like the vagisil better. Also don't they have a 7 or 10 day treatment? Aren't those supposed to be for the really bad infections? I'd try one of those.
Did you do something that might have caused it? Use a different lube or something like that?
No, not happening. Honestly, the 7 day Monistats work way better than the 1 or 3 day. I would try that. Get the generic, they are cheap and work just as well.
My 'giner is meant for babies out and penises in. No food products.
If it's not better by Friday, I will go in (just in time to start AF Yaaaaaayyy! @@). I just used up most of the rest of my vacay this past week my my sitter was off.
And thanks! :)
Quoting GoRed:I would just go to the doctor and get the pill. OMG I am soooo sorry you have one. This thread is making me itchy. I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!

My husband and I lost a condom up there once. I was flipping shit. It took almost an hour to get it out it went up so high. I would have died if I had to go to the hospital to get it out. A lego man is a great idea. Or a Ken doll. He has long skinny arms.
*waves*

I'm 29 years old and I've never had a YI. Of course, now that I've said that, I'll probably end up getting one, lol. Karma, right? I'm a SAHM, so I would time it around the times I have to leave the house. So yes, if I had one, I would do it.

I've used garlic to clear up BV. You string it with a needle and thread like a tampon.
OMG OMG OMG
