... the anti-fungal doing what it's supposed to do?
I didn't know I had a yeast infection, it looked semi clear so I took it as normal vaginal discharge.
I'm highly active (gym everyday) I eat well One sexual partner No diabetes Often in leggings or skinny jeans Have seen this discharge before the past year or so (usually after my period-so I assumed it was normal and leading to ovulation ) I'm on BCPs (birth control pills)
After I found out, I was given 150 mg of fluconazole. The one time tablet. Now I see more discharge then ever! I took it this morning and it's 12 pm. Is this the medication kicking in??
Fluconazole is extremely effective for yeast infections. The one pill you got was the highest strength also. It works well, and I have used it for yeast infections quite a bit. I used to have chronic ones. Now, I take it to prevent yeast when on antibiotics only. I have never had cottage cheese like discharge. What made me realize it was yeast was the itching and irritation. The medication must be doing its job by cleaning you out from inside. If this continues after 48 - 72 hours, contact your doctor for a different medication and/or have a culture to ensure it is yeast if you have not had one for this infection. I am sure the Fluconazole will work though. Best of luck to you. Take care and be well. All my best!
