advice needed

I am having problems with getting yeast infections around my period time, I have never had this problem until I had my third baby, my gyno said that having my baby has nothing to do with it, but it just seems like too much of a coincidence. I have tried eating more probiotics, I am taking an organic mixture of herbal remidies called Candida, but it still continues everytime. I am really getting tired of buying canesten every month, I feel like I should have shares in the company or something. Plus I really don't like taking medication, I really don't know if it can be that good for you to take it on monthly basis. Plus the fact that my crotch feels like it's on fire and itchy every month is just another annoyance added on to getting my period and all the symptoms that come along with that.
help please

I've heard lots of women use diflucan and it's pretty cheap. Have you tried it?

Perhaps you have one that isn't completely going away, therefore keeps flaring up?

Have you tried changing the type (fabric) of panties you wear?

Avoid sit down baths.

Try boric acid capsules...you can get them over the counter at your pharmacy. I was having issues with a recurring yeast infection for a few months. Was trying everything to get rid of it...finally tried boric acid, haven't had a problem since! and that was a few months ago.

Here's a link with more info on it, etc.
