So if your girlfriend is on the pill, I decided to keep on it to not mess up my cycle. The yeast infection isnt that bad if its detected early, i got a pap and didnt even know that i had it. So she needs to have you use some other form of birth control, get tested at the gyno for a yeast, and also eating yogurt during the time she is on the medication helps prevent a yeast infection because of something with the cultures in it. But if she isnt on the pill, then my experience was always 4 days, i guess longer if it is worse. hope this helps.

There is no correct statistical rate for antibiotic therapy and the percentage BCP failure rate. NEVER rely on antibiotics, supplements, or herbals interacting with the pill--always assume they will.
Typical & proper treatment for UTI's is longer than 4 days which can explain why you had them reoccur. Post-treatment follow up of a UTI is a U/A and a C&S.
