I thought it might be thrush and have been using loads of canestan but then after I can smell this odour which I thought might be the cream but it's not it's me! Has Anyone else had this and will it be ok if I leave it til Monday?

I've had thrush loads of times during my pregnancy and canesten never helped me.but Daktarin gel did.its a shame my gp prescribed me this at the end.but i also had bacterial vaginosis few times.i've only known because of the smell. .i'd go to the doctors on monday.its better to be checked.he'll just take a swab and send it of so you'll probably have to wait few more days.hope that helps hun x

They should really take some swabs to find out. If the smell is quite strong it might be bacterial vaginosis, which has very similar symptoms to thrush but you need a different cream for it x
