Diabetes
Thyroid disorders
Pregnancy"

there are TONS of reasons women get yeast infections, it is not a typical sign of pregnancy.

could be anything. if you missed a period, then take a home pregnancy test. but just cause you have a yeast infection DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE PREGNANT. i wish you girls wouldnt look into everything as a sign of pregnancy without taking a test. take a home pregnancy test to be certain if you are indeed pregnant. then you need to speak to a doctor about what medication you can use while pregnant to treat your yeast infection

In women, yeast infections are the second most common reason for vaginal burning, itching, and discharge. Yeasts are found in the vagina of most women and can overgrow if the environment in the vagina changes. Antibiotic and steroid use is the most common reason for yeast overgrowth. But pregnancy, menstruation, sperm, diabetes, and birth control pills also can contribute to getting a yeast infection. Yeast infections are more common after menopause. In people who have a weakened immune system because of cancer treatments, steroids, or diseases such as AIDS, candidal infections can occur throughout the entire body and can be life-threatening. The blood, brain, eye, kidney, and heart are most frequently affected, but the candidal fungus also can grow in the lungs, liver, and spleen. Candida is the leading cause of esophagitis (inflammation in the throat) in people with AIDS. Almost 15% of people with weakened immune systems develop a systemic illness caused by Candida. These infections enter into the bloodstream through breakdowns or cuts in the skin or mucous membranes. Candidal organisms may build up in an area because of frequent use of strong antibiotics, which kill the bacteria that normally keep it under control. Use of devices implanted in the skin such as urinary catheters and IV ports also provide access for the yeast to enter the body. IV drug addicts using dirty needles may inject the yeast directly into their bloodstream or deep tissues
SYMPTOMS:
In women, signs and symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are a white cheesy discharge that typically itches and irritates the vagina and surrounding outer tissues. On occasion there may be pain with sexual intercourse or burning with urination.
Various conditions can cause nonmenstrual vaginal discharge in women, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis.
If vaginal discharge lasts for more than 1 week, consult your doctor.
If yeast infections recur, see your doctor for a more thorough work-up. Candidiasis that comes back may be a symptom of a hidden disease such as diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS.

Other symptoms such as bloody discharge, abdominal pain, fever, and increased urination also can indicate more serious problems, and you should seek medical help.

If you were taking any antibiotics that can cause them too. I have gotten a couple that way.

wearing too wet of undies or too tight of pants
it can be sexually transmitted
It could be a side effect of antibiotic use
it could be a natural flora problem


heck, if I was pregnant every time I had a yeast infection
I would have had 5 or 6 kids

u could b

well u better get tht checked because my sister jus experienced a miscarridge becuase of a yeast infection while she was preggo

sometimes you just get them!!!

You can have a yeast infection and not be pregnant....and vice versa.

Anyone can get a yeast infection - you may just be even more prone to them with those conditions. I used to get them every cycle on the pill.

Anyone can get a yeast infection. They're caused by an inbalance in the natural bacteria down there. All those things you mentioned are conditions that raise the likelihood of getting a yeast infection - they're not the cause.

Of all "am I pregnant" questions that get posted on here every day, this is the least likely symptom of pregnancy I've seen.

Unless you've had unprotected sex and have missed your period, the answer is no.

A lot of women have yeast infections and are not pregnant, have immune suppression, AIDS, Diabtes or thyroid disorders. It's just an unfortunate thing that us women get.

As far as i know, yeast infections are not a sign of pregnancy.
