thrush???

[a_l1234567]

hello I'm just looking for some advice as I have recently started taking the pill (two times a day) and I'm concerned because I'm sexually active with my boyfriend but recently my bits have become very painful and itchy. I also noticed my discharge changed into a weird consistency (ill spare you the gross details) its just very odd for me as I'm quite sure my partner doesn't have a sti although you never can be 100%. I had to start taking two pills a day as the pill I am on caused me to have a period but then after a couple of weeks of my period stopping I also stopped taking two pills and went back to one however I now have my period again! Also been feeling the need to go for a wee all the time!!!! Im in a heck of a lot of discomfort so please inform me if you know anything that could relate to this it'd be a massive help! thank you.

Get the the gum clinic and have a check up, tell the other half to go as well and if there is anything there you can both get sorted. How come you were taking 2 if your pill? It doesn’t make any difference if you are taking one or 2, just works the same xx

I take two pills because if I only take 1 then I still get a period so I take two just to ensure that I don't, thank you for the help! xx

You should still have normal periods while on the pill. What do you mean you take 2 pills so you won't have one? The pill is not like the devices you have implanted or the shots that stop your periods,

You should be allowing the 7 day break each month for your period. Only take one pill a day (not sure what kind of damage you could be doing by taking twice the recommended dosage but I highly doubt your hormones will thank you for it) also it sounds like you have thrush and possibly a water infection. Go to the doctors and explain your symptoms but do tell them you have been taking two pills per day also.
