This could be due to hormonal imbalance, or even an infection. If you were on BCP and stopped them, this may be the cause. It could take up to 2-3 months for things to get back to normal. If you also haven't had a pap, I would suggest this to, just to rule out infection.

Reply to Lindie's Post: LINDIE THE DID A SWOP WHEN I WAS AT THE DOCTORS 10 DAYS AGO. THIS BEGAN WHEN I WAS ON THE BIRTH CONTROL. I HAD ONLY BEEN TAKING IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS WHEN IT STARTED TO HAPPEN. THE DOCTOR SAID THAT I HAD SOME BACTERIA THAT IS WHY SHE GAVE ME THE CREAM.

The hormone in the birth control may have been too much for you. Do keep in mind though Hun, it generally takes 3 months for your body to adjust to BC just as well when you come off BC. It may also have been a combination of the bacteria infection and the BC. So now that you are off the BC again, give it a few weeks and see how it goes. If no change, then do follow up for a blood test to check your hormone levels.

Hope this helps Hun
