Reoccurring Yeast Infection and Birth Control?

Question

I have never ever gotten yeast infections before I got on birth control and it got me last night that it may be my birth control. Does anybody have any knowledge of this or had it happened to you or someone you know. I get these damn near every month after ovulation/right before my period.

Answer

Yes! Birth Control can cause reoccurring yeast infections. It happened to me with my BC pills, I was having yeast infections back to back for like 6 months. Then I figured that it had to be the BC and I stopped taking my pills for about three months made sure my yeast infection was FULLY cured and started taking another form of BC pills with less estrogen.

Answer

I’v had around 6 yeast infections due to the pill. The last one I got was because I decided to try another brand. 
So, yes, BC can give you yeast infections.

Answer

thank you guys for your input. I'll try to talk to my OB/GYN for other options
