Hi ladies,
This is a branch of the other thread I started in the Sexuality forum...

It seems that my painful intercourse can be attributed to a yeast infection, even though I'm not very itchy and it's still freezing outside (usually I only get them in the summer). I've heard that birth control bears some of the blame... has anyone else experienced this?
Since starting to have sex and being on birth control in the last year, I've had about 4-5 yeast infections. This seems like a lot to me, but I'd like to hear input from other women if possible.
So I got the 3-day generic Monistat (miconazole) stuff, which is what I've always done in the past. I'm curious though if anyone has had success with 1-day treatments? I heard that they don't work as well. Or on the other side, do the 7-day treatments work better (especially if you have them frequently like I do)? My doctor has given me a one-dose pill in the past, but this hasn't always worked well for me, so I stick with the 3-day.
Right now I'm at my bf's house for spring break (3 hours apart) and our usually lively sex life is being put on hold for half of my vacation, so that's why I'm asking about the 1-day treatment.
Thanks for any tips.
