Yeast infection 😭

Em

I’ve been so uncomfortable all week, swollen to the point I couldn’t even insert the tip of my finger into my vag (sorry tmi) I went to my regular ob appointment yesterday and they did a swab/vaginal exam and a urine test, urine came back negative for everything but the swab came back a yeast infection. I’ve never had any problems down below before (I know pregnancy increases chances of getting utis and yeast infections 😑) I was told to start monistat 7 cream tonight and if it’s not better in 5 days to go back in. What’s everyone’s experiences with monistat? I’ve heard it burns kinda nervous to do it later don’t want to be even more uncomfortable down there.
