Hi everybody,

I think I might have a yeast infection. I am in the 2 weeks waiting period. Does using canesten causes harm if my egg is fertilized? I know I can't use Diflucan (oral pill) but is the intravaginal cream O.K.?

Well I work in an OB/GYN office and our OB patients that have an infection get creams. They don't use diflucan. The doctors will say that monistat is ok or a prescription cream called gynazole. The Gynazole is a one time cream that you insert. It is a good product. So that is just some advice. Good luck!
