"Congratulations, you have a yeast infection!" last words I was expecting to hear from my doctor.
Two weeks earlier, after months of trying to conceive after, we finally got a positive home pregnancy test. But further tests at the doctor's office the next day was negative. It was the day before my period was due, I should note ... I am not a patient woman.
The nurse insisted that there must be something wrong with the test house. I was devastated. However, after browsing some forums online pregnancy I became more optimistic. Apparently, this kind of thing happens rather often.
Nurse naturally disagree, but after questions plagued my insistence he begrudgingly put down my book future appointments, notes I could cancel it when I got my period.
There is no period to come, and on the scheduled date me happy to pee in a cup yet again. I met with the doctor while we wait for the results, and to kill the time he asked me if there was different. I do not really see any typical pregnancy symptoms, but did I mention that the sex had been a little uncomfortable lately.
"Maybe associated with early pregnancy hormones?" At this point I'm looking for signs of anywhere I could find them.
To be safe, doctors collect swab samples and went to see itself. About 5 minutes later she came back into the room beaming from ear to ear.
This is it, I thought. The results are returned. I am pregnant!
"It's beautiful, the most perfect specimen I have ever seen!" he exclaimed. Yeast. Stupid, stupid yeast.
He certainly saw my face fall as soon he explained "we are still waiting for test results, but this is really great news! A yeast infection is a sign that you may very well be pregnant. "
Ummm ... what? I think it's time for the "learn something new every day."
During early pregnancy, a woman's body transformation hormonal landscape dramatically. The vagina is home to, mostly consisting of several bacteria and yeast mixture in normal conditions. However, pregnancy causes a shift in the microbial community (see! The hormones of pregnancy ?!).
This may cause some species that were once behind the driver seat to take the wheel. Sometimes, potentially harmful bacteria can take over, like. But more often, tips the balance in favor of harmful yeast. This species is usually, but can be others as well.
Fungal infections are very common in early pregnancy. Candida species tend to colonize the vagina about 20% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women. Another odd "side effect" is that if you are pregnant, you may be less likely to know you have an infection. Most of the pregnant women have no symptoms.
OK, great, so bring on yeast! But also the baby, please ...
After a few minutes of interesting science lessons- and requests to use my specimen fantastic for teaching purposes ... sure ... whatever, we finally young- our big fat (official) positive!
And fortunately, fungal infections are usually not harmful to a developing baby. Some of the common antifungal, such as fluconazole is not recommended because of the effects on the developing fetus are not fully known. So he recommended a long way over-the-counter antifungal a. 7 days vs. the usual 1 or 3 ... annoying but a small price to pay
If the symptoms are not bad or non existent, there is always the option of skipping the drug entirely, although some research suggests recurrent asymptomatic infection may increase the risk of birth premature.
In summary, while we usually categorize fungal infections as a curse, if you wish to baby it really can be a blessing in disguise

parents Academic: I ' m excited to share the new website I have started called Moms of STEM (@moms_of_STEM). This mission is to help mothers (and mothers) pursue STEM careers achieve their personal and career goals by sharing resources and perspectives. http://momsofstem.com/
Excited to return from maternity leave with a new blog post. The last few months have provided fodder for some future blog material of interest, ranging from infant infection immune diseases (potentially associated with pregnancy).
