yeast infections - an ugly thing, I should know!

Ok, I'm posing this question to all of you ladies who have hopefully been in the same boat and can imparte some desperately needed advice....
No matter what I do or try, I ALWAYS get yeast infections. It has seriously gotten to the point where my sex life has been drastically affected. ie, I have had sex in over a month - I've still done things w/ my SO but mostly for his benefit, and I'm starting to get really upset over this. See, I've tried over the counter medication (the one day, the three day and the seven day) and none seem to get rid of it completely....it might go away for maybe a day, but even then, its still a bit milky down there, and then it will just come back full force. My yeast infections don't involve the itchiness (thank god) but I do get red down there and I get extremely 'milky' (best way to describe it) and in the past when I've had sex in this state, everything gets really sticky and clumps up and stuff. Now I'm pretty sure that this is a yeast infections but I guess there's the possibility that its not and I'm treating it wrong. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? And if so, how do you get rid of it and what do you do to try and keep it from coming back? Like, is there anything that I should be doing on a regular basis that I'm not doing that could be the reason I'm getting them so often (ie, back to back)......

Any advice would be greatly appreciated by both myself and my SO!
