Chronic yeast infection from HRT??

I started using vagifem and got a yeast infection. The vagifem didn't work fast enough and I was still very dry and had bleeding after intimacy. So yesterday I started the premarin vagnal cream. I must have needed it because none of it ever leaked out.....I guess I absorbed it all! My question is......is this yeast infection thing going to be chronic for me while I am doing the vaginal cream or was it a fluke or will I get past that over time?.......Sometimes I don't know if the itchy is my yeast infection or the dryness from having no ovaries!! I feel great other that the vagina thing. I also take estratest full strength. I tell you I don't miss my uterus but sure my ovaries even though they were diseased little creatures they still made estrogen!!

Chronic yeast infection from HRT??

Are you sure it's yeast? Did they do a culture? I had a horrible problem with yeast. Unfortunately after the first culture showed yeast they did not retest me and when my symtomps continued they just kept treating me for yeast. When I saw the NP at my docs office she did a culture, but said she thought the problem was lack of estrogen which had caused dryness and atrophy. I had horrible burning and itching. I am now using estrace cream, and taking an oral probiotic. The estrace cream burned at first, but has really helped the problem. The other thing I do is use a spray, I believe put out by the makers of monistat. It's a moisturizing spray, and it works great.
