I am also 18 weeks pregnant, which makes resolving these symptoms even harder. I am a married 34 yr old, I eat a very healthy low sugar diet, do not smoke or drink, I do take prebiotic and prenatal pill every day. I use only sensitive fragrance free personal products and wear cotton underwear. I don't know what is causing the PH imbalance but I am in hell. Please help me with working remedies that are safe to use during pregnancy!

Debby: I have had very good results getting rid of yeast infections via garlic and yogurt. It never fails.
Either or. A spoonful of live-culture yogurt inserted once a day. Or poke a few holes in a garlic clove and push in (can add a thread for pulling out, though I never have, it comes out by itself in a couple of days). In a stubborn situation like yours I would alternate this treatment for a couple of weeks.
You may be getting reinfected by your husband, he should self-treat also, or get a prescription. Best of luck!
