Has anyone developed an yeast infection while on the stim shots? I feel like I am starting something not sure what it is but I feel really irritated (may be TMI - sorry)? Any suggestions on what I can do to help the issue?? Thanks for your great input!!

I got one my last IVF cycle and I think it was because of all the ultrasounds too. Anyway the nurse just suggested I eat a lot of yogurt, I did and it got rid of the infection.

I have chronic yeast issues, not just vaginally. I can tell you that if you can eat yogurt, then do. I am allergic to dairy and casein. You could also take acidophilus. You can get it at a health store.
I got a bad one our first cycle, but it was after the ET and you can not use diflucan when pregnant, mostly in the first trimester. But, the nurse called me in a cream to use. Some of the over the counter brands irritate me more, so I have to get a script. I was able to use that after the ET. If you feel it is coming on now, you may want to treat with the diflucan before the ET. A doctor can give you a script for it.

I will more then likely have to take a pill the night of ER so it can treat me before the embryos are put back in.

Good luck!

Totally agree if you can get the diflucan now do it. I got a yeast infection last IVF round and this round I felt like it was coming on. I think the antibiotics kicked it though that they gave me prior to me ER. Hang in there.
