I have a couple of thoughts, but they need to be checked out with someone
more knowledgeable in OB.  I know that tea tree oil (diluted in water!)
or vinegar-water douches can be very effective in treating vaginal yeast.
 If these are not a threat to pregnancy, try one.  An RN friend with
persistent vag yeast did the tea tree oil douche and killed off the yeast
for good.  Acidophilus helps to maintain good flora balance, but getting
rid of yeast may take more than that.
