A yeast infection typically has a lot of itching and since you aren't experiencing that it's tricky to say. Here is a list of symptoms of yeast infections:
As for the Monistat ovule, it's likely that it delivered all the medicine during the night even though you think it might have dislodged. But, then I am not even sure that it will relieve your symptoms without knowing if it is truly a yeast infection or UTI.
The need to urinate badly is a symptom of UTI and there are natural and over the counter methods to help with this. Members of our community swear by Olive Leaf Extract or drinking cranberry juice. There are also over the counter medicines to help relieve symptoms. Again, these are just suggestions until your doctor can accurately diagnose your condition.
The Mayo Clinic has said, "Doctors typically use antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections. Which drugs are prescribed and for how long depend on your health condition and the type of bacterium found in your urine."
