Raising ph and YI?

Has anybody had a problem with YIs occurring when you raise your ph? I've got one that won't seem to quit and yes, I was on antibiotics, but now I'm worried about the bsd causing ph problems with the yeast.

Is there anything I can do to counteract the yeast without messing anything else up? I don't want to eat the yogurt because of the extra calcium.

This is assuming I ever get rid of the YI I have, AF ever starts (since I never got a smiley OPK this cycle), and I ever actually get to ttc at all, let alone get pregnant and have a boy. :sigh:

I have no idea if they sway but have you tried the OTC YI meds? I have used the 3 day one before and it cleared mine right up!

And remember ... stay positive! An "this won't ever work for me" attitude does nothing for your testosterone!! You CAN do this! (feel free to remind me of this when I post about being down, 'cause it's gonna happen!)

I tried Diflucan and it got better but didn't go away so now I'm doing Monistat. I have an appt. with ob but it's not til the middle of June.

And yes, I know I've got to work on my attitude. I'm just so demoralized after doing so much to get ready for a sway in May and then the stupid YI ruining it. I've got to snap out of it!

I got some garlic and some lactobacillus acidophilus pills to take to help get rid of it. Don't think I will O again until at least the 17th of June or so. Hopefully this stuff will do the trick and it will all be out of my system by then. Don't want to be on the probiotics too long.

Yes, that can help feed the yeast unfortunately.

:agree: with garlic and probiotics. I think probiotics can have a role in a blue sway because those bugs help you absorb nutrients from your foods and actually produce some nutrients like Vit. K that you have a hard time getting through diet.

Also, even if you don't want to eat the yogurt, a little yogurt inserted into your vagina really helps clear up a YI. I know some people advise against doing this because the yogurt has calcium BUT it is higher in pH and it really clears them up (some of my YI have laughed at the OTC creams.)
