Hi, I do a water aerobics class twice a week and I was just wondering if any one knew if this could be a problem as far as ttc? The reason I'm thinking about this is that I just had a yeast infection and I'm wondering if going could cause the YI to either not clear up (I just treated with monistat the other day) or reaccur (the YI wasn't from swimming, I have just gone back to the classes after a break). So that got me thinking about what's in the pool and if it could do anything to cm or the environment in there. I hope I'm being crazy thinking this because I really want to continue my classes. Thanks, Lisa

Seriously the only thing I can think of that would relate to the pool/YI is sitting around in a wet bathing suit, making a favorable environment for the yeast to grow. Aside from that, yeast infections are from an imbalance of the "good" vs. "bad" bacteria in your vag or introduction of "bad" stuff during sex etc. Also, make sure to treat your hubby with the monistat because you can give it back and forth to each other (from my Dr.)
I don't think it has anything to do with your class, in fact your class is keeping you healthy and fit which would be a benefit while TTC :)
