I am really prone to awful yeast infections that last seemingly forever (I once had one on and off for eight months) and doctors who are completely unhelpful. I have gotten better at preventing them, and that is what this question is about.
I have been sexually active with women for most of my dating life, but presently I am involved with a guy. The whole sperm thing is kind of freaking me out (pregnancy = bad) and I'd like to go with a belt-and-suspenders theory where both he and I use some form of birth control. In his case it will be condoms. In my case, I don't know. I know that I do not want a hormonal birth control. I am looking into getting fitted for a diaphram or a cap, but my problem is spermicide. Spermicide is necessary for diaphram use and it is also necessary to bump the condom success rate from 80% to 98%.
Does anyone have any expierence with spermicide causing yeast infections? I've heard about it, but I want to know how feasible it would be for me to use it. Thanks.
