Michelle,

Did your Dr. do cultures when you went in to make sure you have a yeast infection and not a bacterial infection?

If it was determined you have a yeast infection, ask the Dr. about taking Diflucan again, but use it at different stages, such as one pill on day 1, another on day 4, and the third and final dose on day 7. This attacks the yeast at a different stage.

Also, it could be that while you had a yeast infection when you saw the Dr., it may have changed to a bacterial infection, which does require different meds.

Make an appt. with your Dr. to be examined again.
