Ok so heres how this whole crazy situation went down.
I got a new boyfriend and soon after we started sleeping together I got a yeast infection. Along with this yeast infection, I got my period a full week early. This NEVER happens to me.
This is the first time I had a yeast infection and got one of the OTC cream applicator deals on suggestion of my friend. I talked to the pharmacist and she said that it could be a yeast infection or bacterial infection. If its a bacterial infection, the cream wont do anything and I should see a doctor.
Well, in 7 days time the cream worked well and I was feeling much better. Then my boyfriend and I had sex again and I noticed pain during sex making me realize the infection wasnt gone. Being as we went a couple weeks without sex I didnt have a problem having sex again the next day even with the discomfort. Things in that area seemed to be the same.
The next day things got a lot worse. I was itchy and irritated and I began getting a brownish colored discharge. This is over a full 2 weeks before I'm supposed to get my period again so if its blood, i dont know where its coming from.
Is this still a yeast infection? Does anyone out there know what im talking about or has anyone had this experience??
Im leaving the country to live in a very isolated part of Asia very soon making it near impossible to see a doctor there. I dont have health insurance here so it would be extremely expensive for me to see a doctor. I will if I have to, but if someone has some idea of what this is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me.
Thanks!!

Is there a planned parenthood clinic near where you live? They can do a screening for you and determine whether or not it's yeast or bacterial infection. Also, your boyfriend my need to be treated as well if he's carrying the infection, otherwise he'll just give it right back to you.

Good luck.

I agree with pp, your boyfriend needs to be treated too if its yeast. You can pass the infection back and forth if not both treated. Take care
