Question on Yeast Infection

Hello All! This is my first time on the board, so I am a little nervous. I am 23 yrs old, and just broke up with my fiance of 6 years. Recently I met a young man about 4 months ago, and we became intimate about 2 weeks ago. Well, I started my menstrual period and afterwards, I became real irritated and on my right side I have like a scratch and it itches all around my area down there. My stomach has been cramping just a little and my stomach feels bloated. Is this some symptoms of a yeast infection, or could it be an STD? Another thing is, that around the same time that we had sex, I started using a completely different soap to clean myself with, and I quit using yesterday, thinking that it might have something to do with it, because it does have fragrance in it. I know this guy is not fooling around, but it just really scares me because I haven't really ever had this problem. So any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Thanks for reading.
