Hi, I was diagnosed with a yeast infection months ago.

My gyno. told me to take monistat. I immediately had a UTI also. I took antibiotics for that. The antibiotics gave me another yeast infection and I had to use monistat again. Since then, I've had numerous yeast infections and one more UTI. I don't know if my original yeast infection ever went away or I am getting new ones. I have been tested for STDs and so has my boyfriend. All negative. We're in a monogamous relationship. I am using Mircette. He has no symptoms at all. Since April, I have probably used over the counter creames or suppositories at least 10 times (1 day, 3 day, 7 day treatments, you name it, I used it). I've also used Diflucan (twice). I've gone back to my gyno every month because of the discomfort. She says the cultures show up negative. I don't have a UTI, maybe a little yeast. HOW CAN I HAVE YEAST WHEN I"VE TAKEN SOOO MANY SUPPOSITORIES AND CREAMS?? How can I have yeast when I just finished a seven day regimen the day before she checked me? My symptoms now are that I feel burning and discomfort if I have sex for a long time(even if I'm well lubricated). I feel like I am torn or ripped apart inside. I never felt this before these incidents. I also feel discomfort when I urinate. Not horrible pain or burning, but like tearing. I have read that using medications for yeast infections can cause chemical burns or chemical reactions in your vagina. Can this be what I am feeling? But I haven't used anything down there for about 3 weeks. I've been taking acidophilus capsules (orally) and cranberry capsules. I am 28 and have never had even one yeast infection before this. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?? Please help!
