Also, are you noticing any discharge?

No I don't see any discharge (but that might just be that I'm on my period). But as of now I'm pretty sure it's a yeast infection because I don't see any rashes or anything like that that could connect it to the condom (I said earlier I have a latex allergy and with that I get a rash/itchy).
But another thing that might have contributed to this was the fact that I recently started shaving everything down there (I used to just shave my bikini line) and this is the first time we have had sex since I've shaved it all off. I mean I shaved about 3 days before sex (I don't like shaving while on my period) but could that be part of why It was burning when we had sex? I don't know. Just something that came to mind.
But anyways, I'm on my 5th day now so it should end by tomorrow (hopefully) and maybe I can try using one of those monistat kits.Comment

Yes, just use one of the kits and it will let you know for sure. Then start treatment if it says you have one. I hope you feel better love.Comment

Okay and thank you. But one more thing... Is it possible for a yeast infection to trigger a UTI? I've had Them both at the same time before but the UTI is what caused the yeast infection. But can it go the other way too? I'm asking because when I urinate it burns a little but I don't know if that's just part of the yeast infection.Comment

YES. That is one of the most common causes of a UTI, actually. The bacteria is easily spread from the vagina to the urethra. I think the fact that you're on your period may have made it easier, also. You may find that treating the yeast infection may alleviate the burning while peeing though. I know that was one of my symptoms also, but I did not have a UTI.Comment

Ugh wonderful. I've had so many UTIs that my parents are tired of taking me to the dr. Lol. Maybe if I treat this yeast infection fast enough (my period ended) and drink lots of water/cranberry juice I can get rid of the UTI before it gets too bad.Comment

Hopefully, it sounds like this is awfully painful.
Make sure that the cranberry juice you get isn't loaded with sugar, that makes Yeast Infections worse.

Yeah this is horrible. I'm definitely not having sex again for a while after this. I'm just thankful that my period ended so that's one less thing to worry about. But yeah that's true, i guess my best bet is water and I have these cranberry chews so I'll just use those too. I really hope this goes away soon
