Yeast infection before period

Jules

So, like one day before my period begins BAM I get a yeast infection. I've read that can happen and it seems to be the only time I get one, but I don't get them often. So here's my question, if you get one so close to your period, do you wait it out, hoping your period flushes the infection out? Or will that just make it worse in the long run? I HATE using Monistat during my period!
