It may not be a yeast infection. If you have been self treating,
something else could be causing your symptoms. It is not likely that
hypothyroidism, especially treated, would cause reccurrent yeast
infections. If you are breast feeding, that could contribute to some
symptoms. Best that you call your ob/gyn and be seen.
