Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are going through.

The yeast infections you are having on your genitalia might be because of:
- frequent use of antibiotics
- a diet high in carbohydrates
- low immunity
- partner having the same problems

Gas cannot cause yeast infection as it is a symptoms and not a disease. Most probable cause to gas might be:
- use of antibiotics that might lead to candida overgrowth in the bowels
- alteration of intestinal flora for other issues
- food intolerance (especially when it comes to lactose)
- constipation

Yeast infection cannot prevent from getting pregnant if you treat it accordingly. It might delay from getting pregnant only.

All the best!
