[quote:61330a21eb] sad I am so fed up. I get thrush every month without fail. It starts just before my period and gets worse through it.When it does clear, it reoccurs as soon as i have sex with my husband.I have tried all the usual creams, pessaries etc but to no avail.My periods are coming every two weeks now and lasting for 9 days or so.....My husband is fed up with the problems, but he wants to try it from my side.I have yet another gyny app next week, but this is really getting me down.....Is there no cure ???!!!

    Hi,

    I had the same problem for 18months. After trying lots of different things, nothing really worked.

    For a completely different reason I had a blood test, turns out my iron levels were extremely low which is one cause of thrush. So it might be an idea getting yours checked, especially if you are losing lots of blood due to prolonged periods.

    Good luck!
