For most yeast infections you can get over the counter medication from your local pharmacy (rite aid, walgreens, target etc). You can choose to get it in the form of pills, or cream that you have to apply vaginally for a week. If you see a doctor, you can get a prescription pill that only requires you to take it once (e.g. fluconazole). However, if you have a resistant strain (if otc medication doesnt help) you need to get stronger prescription cream, such as terconazole.

If you are sure that you have a yeast infection then you can go to your local drug store and get monistat 7 day treatment don't use the 1 or 3 day treatments because you are pregnant the infection may take longer to go away if you are not sure that you have a yeast infection call your doctors office and ask them what you should do your doctor should at least have time to talk to you on the phone hope this helps Good Luck and God Bless!! The pharmacist should know what you can use if you are sure it is a yeast infection. Putting live yogurt in your vaginal area helps too.

Yes, but there is a good chance of whatever you're using harming the baby in some way. Be cautious.

How can a man give you a yeast infection if he did not sleep with anyone else?

Candida albicans, the bacteria that causes a yeast infection is present in everyone, both men and women, even if they are perfectly healthy. The problem arises when the Candida has an overgrowth, which leads to a yeast infection. It is definitely possible for men to get a yeast infection and then pass it onto you. The penis is vulnerable a yeast infection, though chances are significantly lower than that of a woman's. It is possible that the man did not sleep with anyone else as sexual intercourse is only one of the many other possible causes of yeast infection in men. The man may have a weakened immune system, or took antibiotics that killed the good bacteria that are needed to keep the yeast infection from manifesting. Penile yeast infection can also happen with the use of condoms that contain nonxynol-9, so check the label to see if the chemical is present. Simply put, the man may have contracted the yeast infection without sexual intercourse. It may very well be the other causes. To add onto the facts, 75% of women will get a yeast infection at least once in their lifetime, so it may be possible that you have contracted it on your own without the man playing any part in it.
