We are trying and this month i have some itching and discomfort down there. Read somewhere thrush can happen early in pregnancy. Period not due yet so just wondering, did anyone notice this as a sign?
I had a bad yeast infection early in my pregnancy because immunity drops. My doctor gave me a safe vaginal gel which cleared it up quickly, so do ask your gynac.
As if morning sickness wasn't enough, hormones love to gift us itchy yeast infections too! It's very common, but save yourself the misery and get a quick prescription from your doc.
Thrush or yeast infection is very common because of hormonal shifts changing your vaginal pH, but it's not a reliable sign of pregnancy. If you are experiencing itching or discharge, please see a doctor for safe antifungal treatment.
Don't rely on thrush as a pregnancy symptom. If you suspect pregnancy, take a urine test, and if you have itching, go to your gynac to get a proper cream instead of self-treating.
When I got thrush during my early weeks, my mother advised me to wear loose cotton panties and avoid sugar. But we still visited the doctor to get safe pregnancy-friendly treatment.
My doctor told me that high estrogen levels cause more glycogen production in the vagina, which feeds yeast. While it is common in pregnancy, a missed period and a positive test are the only real signs.
Hormones do crazy things, so yeast infections can definitely happen in early pregnancy! It's best to get it checked by your gynac to get quick relief 🌸
