Help... vaginal itching... I don’t know what to do...

This time has been the worst for me. I want to be able to go to the doctors but because of this stupid virus I can’t. I’ve been experiencing vaginal itching for like two weeks now... did a yeast infection treatment then started getting uti type symptoms along with the continued itching... I just started taking uti medicine and I’m hoping this is the source of my issue. Ugh. Any advice? I don’t believe I’m currently pregnant but I was having some spotting.

It’s probably vaginitis. Or both yeast and BV. Boric acid suppositories help me a lot and for UTIs I use Uqora. Uqora should help with yeast and BV too.

You need a swab done .Annoying time I know .

You should go to a doctor... infections (especially utis or things like that) left untreated can cause a lot of harm. utis can spread to your bladder and then kidneys.

It sounds like you have a case of thrush I’ve struggled a lot throughout my pregnancy with this you can get canestan tests online or in some stores that tell you if you have thrush or bv but with what you’re explaining definitely sounds like a case of thrush

Try washing down there with watered down apple cider vinegar, it helped reduce the itching soooo much when I had BV.

Tea tree oil and/or peppermint oil diluted with an ointment is my go to for anything itchy and always gets the job done 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would call planned parenthood, if you have one in your area, they are still running, my friend had a UTI and no PCP to speak to they talked about her symptoms over the phone had her come by and leave a urine sample, she had a prescription by the end of the day.

As weird as this sounds try putting plain yogurt like chobhani or something of the sorts on it like lay in bed and full on spread eagle it and just have a thick layer of the yogurt on you if there’s any infection this can help a lot trust me on this!!! And it will also help the itch and heal the dryness from you scratching as if it’s a moisturizer

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏

Extending maternity leave beyond a year

I’m due to go back to work in June and my baby to nursery after a year off (I work in the nursery she’ll be attending).I can’t claim funding for her until September so considering now staying off with her until then.

Does anyone know how this works? Am I entitled to just tell them I’m doing this or is it something that can be refused now my maternity leave and 52 weeks leave entitlement is up?

What’s a cheap little gift you could buy for anyone. The only thing I could think of is a scratch off lottery. What else is there?

I’ll take any ideas?
