I have had the same experience. A pink discharge after using the 1 day treatment. My gyno said it was normal but suggested that from now on I should take diflucan, the oral alternative.
I'm on day 5 of monistate 7 treatment and today I saw some pink blood mixed in with the cream in my underwear. It was very worrisome but I feel relieved that I'm not the only one that's experiencing this.
i got the same thing! i was soooo nervous. i just finished the treatment a couple days ago and it hasnt gone away yet. hopefully it does soon. good to know it seems pretty common.
same thing happened to me
Tried Monistat, think I was allergic to it so the Doc gave me Diflucan. I noticed pink discharge after the Monistat. Glad to know it's nothing serious. Maybe they should put something stating pink discharge is normal.
Thank heaven for this thread! I had the exact same reaction from a Canesten 1-day treatment, the kind that is an oral pill and a cream. Used it last night and this morning woke up with pink discharge, as if I was about to get my period. I'm on Yaz and shouldn't get a period for about 12 more days, so I was freaking. They really should put something like this on the info sheet that comes with the treatment. So scary to have this! Thanks to everyone for posting, I don't feel scared anymore, just a little annoyed :-)
OMG! Im soo happy saw this.. I used one treatment and then two days later I see this pink c**p ... I wanted to hang my BF >;) thinking maybe it was a S*D or something.. You guys saved his life.
Still something should be done about this because way too many of us are having this same problem.. Whats up Monistat? get it together!!

Ditto! This is very comforting. :-D
Did anyone's discharge go away? Just wondering? D:
Thank God! I took the Monistat 3 last Thurs evening, and now the following Mon. I experienced some pinkish, light brownish discharge and was freaking out!! I'm a little disappointed I must say that I still have intense itching after almost 5 days, but I was really scared when I saw that discharge thinking I might be preggers. Soooo happy to have found this thread...now I can relax a little bit!
I just used a diflucan pill yesterday and had the same thing, whitish-yellowish discharge before the pill and lt. pink/brownish after. I told my gyn about the color of the discharge before the pill and she didn't seem concerned so I guess it's ok. I'm glad I found this page because when I tried to look it up elsewhere everyone was talking about pregnancy...and I really think my chances of that are pretty slim. This post made me feel better knowing other yeast infection treatments caused similar side effects
I am incredibly embarrassed to be writing this but I need help!!! My discharge is coming out a pale greenish color and it has me worried i used monistat 3 and am on my first day I am just really worried!!?? help has anyone else experienced this? :$ ?
Obviously I'm not the first to say this, but THANK GOD! I thought something was seriously wrong! Glad to hear this is normal.
Thanks all for sharing! I also had a yeast infection. I didn't use monistat but a CVS miconazole (I guess is the same) 3 day treatment and have an orange discharge yesterday, and I was really freaking out! I feel so much better now (plus right know I cannot afford to go to the Doctor). Hopefully I'll stop soon.
ohhh i'm so glad i'm not the only one! i used monistat 3 and the last day was sunday. now i'm having the pink discharge and i was worried. i'm glad its normal though.
