I know how stressful any infection can feel, especially after IVF. Please don't worry, yeast infections are highly treatable and won't harm your baby. Just let your doctor know so they can give you a safe, mild treatment.

Yeast infections are super common in pregnancy due to hormonal changes. My tracker app suggested wearing loose cotton underwear and avoiding scented washes. But please check with your gynac, as they need to prescribe a pregnancy-safe antifungal cream.

Listen, do not put any home remedies or random creams down there. Yeast infections happen because of pregnancy hormones, so just tell your doctor. They will give you a safe ointment or tablet, and it will be sorted out.
