You poor thing! Not sure if you need to give Diflucan more time, but it is very common for it not to work.
 As for an explanation as to why, I am unable to post the url, but go to google and search " dr jen gunter when Diflucan fails" - it should point you to a 8-11-15 article. If you are open to considering more natural remedies, I strongly encourage you to visit earthclinic dot com. If not, that's perfectly ok. OTC Benadryl can help provide some itch relief, but cannot cure anything and can make you *really* drowsy. I'm not a doctor so my only "advice" is to read up on the issue. Just know that women all over the world go through exactly this and struggle to find the right treatment for them. It's year 2016 and you would think that people wouldn't have to go through all this - sorry that you are. Please keep us posted!

Well I've taken that second dose and I'm eating yogurt too.
If it's not gone after a week of treatment (Monday) should I call dr? |

My limited experience with Diflucan involved 1 prescription, 2 pills only and it worked very quickly. Your doc may have a different protocol. But that is the beauty of Diflucan - if it's going to work, it's going to work in 1 or 2 doses. If I were you, I would be on the phone 1st thing in the morning getting another appt , hopefully by the end of the day. Especially if you are not seeing any relief by the time you wake up (and not masked by any antihistamines you might be taking to cope with the itch.) Be pushy if you have to (not rude, but assertive.) I would insist on a a culture, too. But, that's just me. That said, maybe the Rx will really kick in by morning.

My doctor gives me 2 pills of diflucan for 5 days. He said that yeast infections are getting harder and harder to treat. Hope you are feeling better soon.

There are a lot of natural remedies for yeast infections. You can find them online. Diflucan doesn't help me anymore. OTC products don't help me anymore. I have a number of natural approaches that I use.
Many say to not use natural remedies but that's kind of crazy. I mean women have been dealing with this issue FOREVER and it's not like they did nothing about it before medication was "invented", right? __________________ Will work for bananas.
