This is my very first yeast infection and it is mild. I told my sister about it who suffers greatly from these and she told me to get monistat-1 in which I did. I just used it last night before bed and it was a breeze thank god because the reviews were awful... I woke up this morning and everyone explains the discharge to be like "cottage cheese" but mine looked more like thick globs of cream.. is this normal? How long will this discharge last?? Also, I do have some special plans with someone and I'm afraid that this is going to ruin them. The last thing I want to do is embarress myself if this stuff is going to still be leaking. Should I wait like 3 more days... idk what to do I'm just confused aboutt this whole thing and how the monistat-1 works...
Monistat-1, what is leaking, for how long, and can I have sex day 2-3?

Hi Plpacheco,
Please, please take this seriously.
The first few infections are mild but get worse and harder to treat.
My main point is... you HAVE to avoid sex until the infection is GONE !
Gone not meaning no symptoms but what the number of days after completion of the Monistat course.
Follow the directions! I think it's close to a week but I'm just guessing.
If you have sex... you will give it to him... he will give it back to you... etc etc !
Sorry to ruin your fun time but go to a movie instead .
Good luck
:-)
You will give him an infection and he will not be happy!
Thanks, Windchime that is why I put 3 to 7 days and that is after you have completed the therapy and at one point she said 7-day cream then it changed to Monistat 1 so if in dought no sex. you just pass it back and forth. Have a good weekend my friend. Chuck
Thanks Chuck...
Lol...
I couldn't remember!
:-)
Never a problem Windchimes, I had to look to but makes no difference I well forget by next time. Really it is best to just figure a week from treatment time. WHAT MAKES ME SO MAD ON THESE is they put this otc and the directions this is what should be in big writing for people to see not all the nonsense that they put on them. thanks for covering me too. anytime my dear.
Lol... You are welcome!
They have a perfect opportunity to do patient teaching and don't take advantage.
If people understood the rationale why the pharmas are making recommendations,
I think they would be more compliant.
It's hard enough to read those tissue paper thin inserts in the OTCs.

klpacheco; all you have is normal this is going to happen and you just wear a pad while you are going thru the course of the Monistat. Also sorry but it should say on your paper but I think it is 4 o 7 days before sex after your treatment. Anytime if you have a question you need the answer right away a good source, Is buy it at a pharmacy and talk to the Pharmacist about these questions I am only saying this because it's been 3 days here and you have not gotten an answer and I am very sorry about that.
Do not use tampons while you are using Monistat-1 and until all of your symptoms go away. Use unscented pads or pantiliners.
Do not have vaginal sexual intercourse while you are using Monistat-1.
Monistat-1 may decrease the effectiveness of condoms and diaphragms, increasing the chance of pregnancy or risk of sexually transmitted disease. Do not use condoms or diaphragms for at least 3 days after treatment with Monistat-1.
Do not use tampons, douches, spermicides, or other vaginal products while using Monistat-1.
If you use topical products too often, your condition may become worse.
