Glucophage (metformin) and yeast infections

I've been receiving treatment for 10 months for Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. The endocrinologist said that based on my medical history I probably have PCOS as well and put me on Glucophage (metformin). I have tried this medication on three separate occasions and get a horrible yeast infection after about 4 weeks of treatment. The endo says the Glucophage has nothing to do with it. It will not go away until I stop taking the Glucophage. I'm 39, had a successful pregnancy and not looking to get pregnant again but he wants me to stay on it. I take no medications other than Synthroid. Has anyone else had this problem?
