Does This Sound Like A Yeast Infection?!


Question: Does This Sound Like A Yeast Infection?
Hi to try to make a long story short I'm 19 weeks pregnant. Almost two weeks ago I had sex with my husband and his penis smelled more "soapy" then usual, but I ignored it and we had sex. Soon after I was extremely irritated and sore. I didnt think much of it, because its not the first time my husband has made me sore after sex. But then the symptoms progressed, from soreness/ irritation to itching. The itching gradually got worse. So I went to get seen about 3-4 days after we had sex. They tested for BV, yeast, and some other things but I came out all negative so they just gave me hydrocortisone and said its just disturbance from whatever was on his penis, it should clear up. Well I started to feel significantly better the first few days after getting seen, but then all of a sudden the itch got worse again! You can imagine my frustration at this point. It is now almost 2 weeks since all of this started and the itching has gotten UN-BEARABLE! I could barely sleep last night, I woke up at 2am and ran a warm bath and sat in it for some relief because it was that out of control. I went to the store today and picked up the 7-day Monistat Kit, some Vagisil Extra Strength Itch cream, and the Vagisil Screening test so I could be sure of what I was treating.
I just took the Screening tests, there are two in a box. One came out reading more like it was 5.0 (which supposedly suggest BV) and the other came out 4.5 for sure (which suggests yeast infection). When I pulled out the sticks, I saw the tell-tale curds attached to the stick (sign of yeast). So 90% of me feels like its a yeast infection. I have no bad smell down there at all, no weird color discharge, and intense ammount of itching inside of and outside on my vagina.

I just want to get opinion from other women, do you guys agree, it sounds more like a yeast infection?

History- I have had a couple yeast infections before, I have never had BV.
(YES THIS IS A REPOST BECAUSE I DIDNT GET MUCH RESPONSE BEFORE)

Answers:

Yes it sounds like a yeast infection - most women who have had one or two know for sure when it happens again but since you are unsure and pregnant... just go back to your doc and get it all checked out, okay?
