I used the monistat one tonight and after a couple hours of inserting it I had some itching and got up to pee and it looked like a good majority of the ovule had came out so I wiped off and came back to bed. No severe side effects here. And I only had the clumpy discharge w a tiny bit of odor so mine wasn't a bad infection. My doctor called me in a one dose pill you took by mouth the last time I had a infection when I was prego and it worked like a charm however I don't have insurance anymore so this is why I tried the monistat. Definitely prefer the pill bc there is no messy inserts bit I hope it works.
