HELP!  Embarrasing vg itching/burning for 11 mos, now.  Plagued w/ "yeast infections" through entire pregnancy; no relief in sight, have tried numerous homeopathics, OTC & prescribed treatments. Dr. finally said to "live with it" until delivery, it would get better.  Dr. has never tested- just treats w/ pills & creams, though I've asked him to test 2x (he says it wouldn't do any good; he knows exactly what it is).. After delivering & no relief, he is now saying I have low estrogen & suggested I quit nursing to get full relief (after I politely explained that I would quit nursing "over my dead body") he gave me an Estrogen cream which caused heavy bleeding for 3 days solid & now increases my chances of developing cancer in the future.  He says it's just my period {my bb is only 9 wks old- how could I cycle so soon!}  I have not had sex in nearly a year & at the begging of my poor patient husband, got a 2nd opinion last week from a Nurse Practitioner who tested & said it was Bact. Vg. and prescribed a cream; but now  5 days later it's worse than ever & completely unbearable!  Now going in tomorrow for yet a 3rd opinion.  HAS ANYONE BEEN PLAGUED BY SUCH UNBEARABLE SYMPTOMS?

Does anyone know how long it takes for food & meds to pass through breastmilk? My Dr. thinks approx. 4-6 hrs, my mom says 24-48 hrs.....  I've been recently diagnosed w/ Rheumatoid Arthritis & will most likely have to take meds at some point.  I may need to pump & dispose for a few days & it would be nice to know this~ thanks
