2dpt - 2ww and THRUSH!! sorry TMI

Hello to all you wonderful ladies, and any men on the forum :D

I posted on this forum early january when i was first referred for IVF. I am 25 y/o, ttc for 3 years, and on my first fresh cycle of IVF/ICSI. I had a 5dt on Monday so currently 2dpt!

Doing well in relation to obsessing over symptoms..(so far) but have developed a terrible unbearable thrush! Sorry, i know, TMI. I suspect this is due to the Progesterone Pessaries i have been prescribed (one morning and one night), but have read it may be early pg symptoms? EEK..

I've since switched where i insert them, i'll leave the deets to your imagination.. as to not aggravate further. I called the IVF doctor on call and asked if i could use Canesten Duo and he explained i can use the pessaries but have to be 'careful' when i insert them.. That put me off :/ How i do i be careful and what happens if i don't be careful?!!

I've' decided to scrap the canesten route and go for natural yoghurt

anyone else experienced this and have any ideas? encouragement? experiences?

Thank you in advance!!

Hey, thanks for replying! It's awful but the yoghurt is surprising helping. Sounds gross but amazingly soothing!!

I'm a GP. As far as I'm aware no probs using canesten pessary and cream. He may mean because one pessary delivery system is a tablet loaded on a syringe type thing and don't annoy your cervix with it by going too deep/violently with it?? Prob what he means by 'careful'... but you can insert the pessary gently with it/not too deep..or simply insert with a finger... being I am sure the fanny pill/pessary inserter expert that you are now!

Sorry about TMI details! Hope better soon xx

Haha not TMI at all! I am quite the expert. Thank you so much for the advice, I'll keep that in mind if it gets worse. I did use the yoghurt in the end and it was so soothing!

I am starting to feel better! Thank you!
