Help-Yeast Infection & TTC

Sorry for the yucky questions. I read through the archives and didn't see anything specific on these questions.

I am on CD 11, expect to O on CD 18 or 19. I have a mild yeast infection and am wondering if I should use Monistat, or wait till after I O? Are YI treatments going to kill the sperm? I have heard eating yogurt can help - if I skip the Monistat and just eat lots of yogurt, do you think my YI can go away on its own?

Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated!

Thanks.

I know that a yeast infection itself will create a hostile environment for sperm...not good. I imagine it's not great for them with the monistat supositories either....

If you're only at cd11 and normally expect "o" on 18-19 I think you should go ahead and try to remedy the situation before bd-fest happens. If it's mild it should be gone in a couple of days with a med and you'll be all ready to go!

GL to you!
