maybe they have changed medical lab testing methods since I was pregnant last but I have never had to pee on a stick  instead it was in a sterile container

On that tender and raw... I don't know how medically sound this is and you might want to ask someone, but a long, long time ago.. in a far off place of poverty and omg this frigging is driving me insane... my husband had me use bactine down there.  It saved me.  It was so cool and calmed things until medication worked.

i have a yeast infection...

i'm so uncomfortable, and i smell weird, and i can hardly sleep. 

i have the yeast infection at home treatment like my doctor suggested, but it's killing me in the mean time.  i can't sleep at night, it kills me to apply the ointment to the outside like i need to, and to urinate is like... the fires of hell have set my vagina on fire.  

Are you sure it's a yeast infection?  You should not have an odor if that's what it is.  Applying the cream shouldn't hurt either.  If it does, you need to stop using it since you're likely having an allergic reaction to it. 
 
If it is a yeast infection, you don't need a prescription to cure it.  There are several one-dose treatments available over the counter that are very effective.  Monistat brand is available with an extra tube of cream to apply on the outside that will help with the itching and burning.  Just check the ingredients list of the kind you have to make sure you don't get something with the same active ingredient.
 
To help relieve the burning and itching, wash yourself frequently throughout the day with mild soap and warm water, especially after using the restroom.  Reapply the exterior cream.  Eliminate as much sugar from your diet as possible, wear only cotton underwear, and wear loose fitting clothes.  You'll be much more comfortable if your skin can breathe.  If you get a one-dose yeast infection treatment, you may still have symptoms for up to a week.  If they don't lessen in three or four days, see a different doctor and get tested for bacterial vaginosis. 

This is also inaccurate, when you get a bad yeast infection, you can SMELL the yeast. And if she is preggers like she thought, your sense of smell heightens by about tenfold when all the hormones come in. The cream also burns to pretty much everyone I have every talked to, especially if they have been scratching down there or wiping excessively when they pee. It's an open wound, wiping anti-fungal into it is going to burn. And those are sensitive "parts".

Sorry to sound like a know it all, but geez there is some bad info out there. And I get very frequent yeast infections due to an immune disorder. Bacterial vaginosis smells so bad that it would make you want to vomit just smelling it from the normal distance from your crotch to your face.

You're right, you sound like a know-it-all and your info is inaccurate.  The cream shouldn't burn to the point of making her not want to use it.  Sting a little on raw skin, perhaps.  But not burn that badly.  I've experienced both so I'm familiar with what happens when one has an allergic reaction to yeast infection cream.  Telling her it's not an allergic reaction is just wrong. 
 
Also, if she has a foul odor or one that smells like fish, that's not a yeast infection.  I've had plenty of yeast infections over the years, including during pregnancy, and the odor was never bad.  If she has an odor, a bacterial infection is something to consider getting tested for, especially since she has nausea and other symptoms.  It could be that she is pregnant and has a yeast infection because of the changes in her pH.  But that just means she needs to get back to a medical professional even sooner.

It makes me curious and a bit jealous of transsexuals who go from males to females and therefore don't have the inherent problems associated with being born with a vagina... if they only knew what it was really like to be 'us' sometimes. LOL

hi

sounds like you have a very bad yeast infection and will probably need more than one treatment of the over the counter stuff.  call your Dr back and ask for diflucan as rosegandin suggested.

other than that, the creme you have in the pack, and yogurt, which doesnt need to be frozen and can be spread topically as well to help with the itching,  only time can help.  i never leave any Dr's office with a prescription for antibiotics without one for diflucan too.

good luck to you

Yes you can use the yogurt topically, but it isn't recommended. If you do decide that you are desperate enough to try this, make sure you get PLAIN not flavored, not even vanilla, no fruit yogurt. The actual truth about the yogurt trick is EATING it, it has good cultures in it that will help your body replace the bacteria "down-there", which are what control things like yeast from overpopulating and resulting in a yeast infection.

Also, I don't know if this has been mentioned as I didn't read the whole thread, but don't stick random things up there that aren't sterile, and never douche, to avoid this happening in the future. If you like yogurt, I suggest eating it regularly to help keep yourself "balanced". I get very bad yeast infections and have to take diflucan an eat a ton of yogurt myself periodically. But you would have to be stupid or desperate to put it up inside you. Yogurt spoils like anything else. Do you really want spoiled yogurt drawing fruit flies up inside your vagina? I didn't think so.

Try some diaper rash ointment for the rawness. You don't have to tell anyone you did it. LOL it will make your genitals feel sooooo much better and provide a water proof barrier between the tender skin and your bodily fluids.

I said CURIOUS because it makes me wonder what drives a person to think that way... and the various things behind it, that they are willing to go through it all.

It makes me JEALOUS for those who do it successfully and without too much heartache (and yes, they DO exist) that they don't have all the woes concerning being a woman by birth.

Why do people keep misunderstanding what I am saying?
