I'm experiencing pain during sex, localized inside the vagina on the left side, for the past two days. The pain is sharp. I had a yeast infection weeks ago, and now I'm noticing thick white cottage cheese-like discharge, similar to what I had before.

I’m 25 weeks pregnant and have a yeast infection. My doctor prescribed terconazole vaginal cream, but I’m concerned about its safety during pregnancy. Would over-the-counter Monistat be safer, or is there a more natural and safer solution like using Greek yogurt with honey or eating Activia yogurt?

My period was 5 days late, and I took multiple positive pregnancy tests. I went to the doctor for a blood test, which came back negative, and now I have brown blood that seems to be my period starting. I never have brown blood when my period starts, and I am very confused. Does this mean I have had a chemical pregnancy?
