I havent got tested and i know your supposed to but with my hours of work i have no time right now to go to a doctor or a clinic because they are closed and i cant take off....anyway im pretty sure my symptoms are a yeast infection

anyway i plan on just getting over the counter medication to see if that works to clear it up...however my question is....

can i used the insertion cream while I'm menstrating? or should I just wait till after it's done? The itching is driving me crazy and I need to know if its okay to use while on your period

Yes, you can use it during menstruation. I often got them at this time. Hormonal imbalances upset the yeast balance. I fyou're prone to yeast infections, try eating more yogurt or taking a probiotic such as acidopholus to prevent the yeast infections.
