Hey everyone

So, here’s the deal—I’ve been on birth control for about a year and a half now. I started on Yasmin, but switched over to Logest about eight or nine months ago. Even back when I was on Yasmin, I was constantly dealing with yeast infections, but lately, since switching to Logest, things have taken a turn for the worse. During the last few days of my period, I get this intense itching and a really strange discharge—it doesn't look like the typical white stuff you see with a yeast infection. Does anyone actually have a clue what might be going on?
Oh, right—I do have high-risk HPV (though my Pap smear came back clear)—maybe there’s some connection there...

Hey everyone, I’ve got a bit of a "situation"...
It’s something that’s been bugging me for quite a while now—years, actually...
Basically, whenever I find myself somewhere even slightly warm, I start "boiling" almost instantly and begin feeling unwell. Then, as soon as I step into the AC for a few minutes, I have to bundle up just to stay comfortable—I’m talking wearing a jacket even on summer evenings 😲. Lately, it’s been driving me absolutely crazy...
By the way, I am anemic...

Is there anything I can actually do about this? Maybe something involving my diet? I thought about seeing a doctor, but I can already hear them saying, "Oh, that’s perfectly normal, there's nothing we can do," so...

I was on Yasmin for about six months, and honestly, I have absolutely nothing good to say about it... Should I even mention that my OB-GYN prescribed it without running a single test first?
Basically, I ended up with a case of Candida, and I had no clue what caused it until I saw other women here on the forum dealing with the exact same thing... Clearly, there’s just way too much hormone for my body to handle.
When I asked my doctor if the pill could be the culprit, she just gave me some vague "I'm not sure, but probably not" answer—you know, the whole "it could be a million different things" routine. She didn't actually notice anything was wrong until I brought it up; she was busy treating me for Gardner instead—how on earth did she miss that? I mean, I’m pretty sure I would've noticed if I smelled like a dead fish, for God's sake.
Then, a lovely lady on this forum recommended Logitech because they have lower hormone levels than Yasmin, and now everything is perfectly fine. 😍
Plus, they're cheaper, haha.
