Can a Yeast Infection Be a Indicator of Pregnancy?

Is is possible to have a yeast infection be the first symptom of pregnancy? I ask because I have never had one while not on the pill. I had them quite often while on the pill, but have been off the pill a couple times (about 10 months this time) and never had one otherwise.
We had sex one week before I felt the infection coming on. This would mean that this was an immediate reaction to a pregnancy. Is this even possible?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yeast Infection
Well, i'm going to answer my own question! Yes! My yeast infection was the very first symptom of pregnancy. I have taken two first responses the past two days and have a very light but definite second pink line. So if you don't typically get yeast infections when you're off the pill, it may be a sign for you too!! :d

yeast infection an early sign of pregnancy?
I believe I might also be pregnant. I have been charting my ovulation to get pregnant and just two days after ovulation I have a yeast infection. I have had them before on the pill and later in my 1st pregnacy. I hope that it is an early sign of pregnacy, but I will have to wait and see.

Anyways, for the past 2 to 3 days, I've been having alot of itching and burning. I think it might be an infection, could this be a sign of pregnancy? I know in my first pregnancy i thought i had one and went to the doctor and found out I was pregnant. Has any one got pregnant when their husband was fixed? Please help

Yeast Infections as an Early Pregnancy Symptom?
Hi. I started researching yeast infections and found this site. I couldn't find any sites that mentioned yeast infections happening this early in pregnancy. After the little I have found, it seems that yeast infections are not necessarily the most common early symptom of pregnancy, but it is possible. after all, a woman's hormones are like a roller coaster ride, especially if she is pregnant.

my husband and I have had sex maybe four or five times before and during my ovulation period. we aren't ttc, but we aren't trying NOT to either.

The day after I ovulated I think I passed out sideways on my bed and slept for 3 hours in the middle of the day. I am rarely that exhausted. I was fine yesterday (3dpo), except for some moodiness and aversion to coffee (i'm a coffee addict!!).

Today (4dpo) I reaaaally didn't want coffee, but I drank a little anyway. I felt so hot all day long and really tired. I just wanted to lay in front of a fan with my clothes off, take a nap. I got 8 GOOD hours of sleep last night, and I have been really energetic and productive this week. So, my tiredness was kind of random. I also have slightly sore boobs. They have grown a little and they hurt all on the sides. My boobs usually hurt a week before my period, but not this early. I had some pain in my lower right abdomen for a couple of hours today. It was slight, but noticeable. I also have a load of white discharge every time I go to the bathroom. I have had a yeast infection (I'm guessing) for maybe two days now (3dpo and 4dpo) and I have never had one before, never.

Now, hear me out, I know that it is way too early to KNOW for sure, but I just want some advice from some moms and what they experienced.
Can you tell me what you guys think? I have bad baby fever and I'm trying to get it out of my head, whether or not it is possible or not.

I had a yeast infection with my first son. Now ttc #2 and I have it again. I'm also 10+ days late for my period which never EVER happens. All urine is negative for hcg but I still have faith. My nerves are going crazy!
