Changing my dose of Mino?

[246bride]

Hi all – I have been on 50mg per day since February. I am pleased at how I am feeling…able to function, not debilitating pain, but still I am not 100% by any stretch and am in some pain. I am certain the AP is playing a role in how I am feeling. I am wondering though, is it time to up and/or change my dose/regimen? The reason I am taking 50mg everyday is because I am so afraid if I hit it too hard with higher doses that my yeast infections will come back. I had problems with this when I was on AP for a few short months before I got pregnant this last time. I am on a probiotic and have Apple Cider Vinegar and incorporate a lot of coconut oil into my diet. So far, I have not had any infections. If I were to make a change, what would you all suggest I do? Go to 100 every other day? Essentially that would be the same dose over a course of a week but would it make any difference? THought I would seek your all’s advice since my GP is on board with AP but not well versed.

Thanks!!

Hi,

You may want to try taking 100 mg only on Mondays, keeping everything else the same. After a month or two (depending on how you feel), you could try taking 100 mg on both Mondays and Fridays. Then after a month or two you could try taking 100 mg on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

What probiotics are you taking (and how much)?
