Hello, thanks for using HCM.
Itch during pregnancy is caused by candida which is a yeast that lives normally in the vagina flora being kept under checked by bacteria useful bacteria in the vagina. The growth of the yeast is favored by change in maternal hormones that alter the pH of he vagina mucosa they by favoring the growth of the yeast.
Candid v3 is an antifungal drug which is safe in pregnancy. The vaginal ovules are supposed to be taken in consecutive days unlike how you did. The ovules are inserted deep inside by use of the inserting rod and the cream is generally applied all round the vulva for up to 10 days.
A difinitive treatment and relieve of itch will be after pregnancy as that will take away the risk factor of pregnancy.
Best regards and hope this helps.
