There are 40 different types of birth control, it takes time to get the right one for you. If you do not need the birth control, some people do, there is a way of treating the hormones seperately which is much can be much easier on the body than birth control can. Your infection is likely due to your estrogen being out of balance, it does happen, talk to your doctor, if they return monthly at the same time every cycle it's your hormones causing it.

Remember any changes in our hormones can change our vaginal chemistry!

Some people experience changes in vaginal discharge when taking the pill. This can range from an increase to a decrease in vaginal lubrication, an alteration in the nature of the discharge..

If it is happening too frequently to the point it's causing discomfort the pill your only not be the right pill or dosage for you. It's not harmful but definitely talk to your doctor to change and find a better match.
