Hello dear
Understand your concern
Monistat is not safe during pregnancy. It is category C drug means harmful to pregnancy and lead to defect in the fetus.
As you had positive pregnancy test, you have to stop the monistat.
You have to consult the gynecologist and get the examination done and take proper treatment.
Gynecologist will prescribed local clotrimazole and lactose suppository.
Avoid excessive sugar in diet, maintain pelvic hygiene by using V vaginal plus wash.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
