My OB prescribed Tercinazole cream. I don't use the insert and just apply it topically which works.

Category D), recommended Monistat 7 day (apparently anything less just isn't effective) and 2-7 day rounds of Rx similar to Monistat. So I think you are fine to do Monistat. I would start right away. It won't get better with time.

Oh wow! That's very good to know. Thanks so much for responding, and good luck with your pregnancy!

Anyone had a yeast infection during ovulation and then treated it right away? I'm a day or so post-o, and wondering if using a vaginal suppository is a bad idea. On one hand, I worry the yeast infection will effect my chances to conceive, but I worry the same about treatment! It's pretty minor, not terribly uncomfortable (we were able to BD through it just fine), but worried the infection is working against me.
