White Discharge

Unread post by overthinking97 »

Hi,
recently I have been experiencing a lot of white discharge, more than normal! what could be the cause?
6 weeks ago i changed birth control pills so might that be it?
Thanks!

One of the ways birth control pills work -- and different formulations can have different impacts on different bodies -- is by thickening cervical mucus, so people using the pill and other hormonal methods will always have thicker discharges.

It may be this formulation does that more for you than your last, or it may be that because you've been in a panic, you're being more observant of your body than you have been in the past.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
