I should charge for this info...

So I got a cold, which turned into an ear infection, which required antibiotics. They've got me taking this huge fattie bottle of Amoxicillin, and each of the pills is 500 mg. I take 2 in the morning, and 2 before bed. That's a lot of medicine!

I know this, because it gave me--- drum roll, please-- a YEAST INFECTION. I feel dirty even typing those words. Yuck. So I'm super itchy and not a happy camper. The first day I had it, I decided I couldn't make it through the work day, and decided to hit up Target on my lunch break to get some cream and some relief. I thought, this will be easy. Duck in, grab the stuff, duck out.

Well then Jackie decides to remind me that I've got a bun in the oven, and I'd better check with someone first to see if it's okay to use that nasty stuff while pregnant. So much for being anonymous about my shameful purchase!! (but seriously thanks for reminding me about that Jackie, cause I wouldn't have thought to ask!)

So I was dreading going, thinking I was going to have to ask the pharmacist there, and what if it was - GASP!!!- a MAN????

I was gonna call my doc office on the way there, but they take forever to get someone on the phone, so my mom suggested calling theTarget pharmacy before I went in, that way I wouldn't have to talk to someone face to face. I know, I'm a big baby about all this-- but hey, when you've got crotch rot, it can be a little embarassing to admit! I swear, people look at you differently.

So I called, to find out exactly which cooter cream would NOT travel up my hoo-hah, into baby Eva's pad, endangering or just bothering her.

Turns out any Monostat 7-day treatment will work. They say not to use the 3 day or 1 day treatments while pregnant (heaven forbid I should get better so quickly!), because they're more potent.

So there you have it, folks. If ever you're pregnant and get crotch rot, I just saved you a world of embarassment, as you now know which cream to buy without having to ask anyone :)

Thank me later.
