It seems to me that before you knew you had the infection, you gave it to your boyfriend. Then you treated yourself, but he still had it. So, he gave it back to you. I do not know the best way for a male to treat a yeast infection, though it is likely that the same internal meds (pills) that a woman would use would work for a man. The best thing to do is have him see a doctor. Both of you treat the yeast infections properly, then go back to your normal life.
Also, some women are just prone to yeast infections. It could be a dietary thing, or a hygeine issue, or just plain wierd body chemistry. You may want to ask your doctor if that could be what is happening with you at your next regular appointment, sooner if it doesn't stop with both you and your bf getting treated.

chances are you past it on to your boyfriend and thats why it came back. What i would do is wait until its completely gone and possibly get him something too (i don't know what they make out there for men but its true he can get it because its a bacterial infection). They i would wait a week or so just to be sure

Well my guess is that your boyfriend is the one with the yeast infection and he's the one giving it to you.

You don't need to wait more then a day or two after you finish the medication to have sex again. As soon as the medication has leaked out of your body, as some of it is sure to do, you are fine to have sex.
What you should do, is have your boyfriend go a doctor. Men can yeast infections too, and they notoriously don't notice them! (Apparently they aren't nearly so annoying for the guy as they are for the girl.)
If your guy has gotten a yeast infection you and him can pass it back and forth forever and ever! So he needs to be checked out and treated as well. If he has a penile (or mouth) yeast infection, he'll just get some ointment to treat it. No big.
If he comes back clean, go back to your doctor and explain the situation. They can delve into the problem a bit deeper and find out what is going on. You might simply have gotten back-to-back yeast infections, it can happen, but I would check out your boyfriend before you do anything else.
Last bit of advice: Unless you notice the yeast infection immediately you should really use a three-day treatment, not a one-day. One-days are only effective if you use them in the first day or two of the infection.
