Abnormal discharge...Birth control issue? Posted: 03-19-08 23:22pm
I am posting this in concern of my friend.
She is married, and of course sexually
active with her husband. She was on the
Nuvaring until about two weeks ago when
her prescription ran out, and had an
appointment to go in for her exam to have
another prescription. Since this period
ended, she has been having abnormal
discharge...It sounds discusting but she
compared it to the color of apple butter.
She did a search on the internet, and the
internet said she could be pregnant, but
then again it also said she could have
cervical cancer...That is why she is
concerned. She wants kids, so if she was
pregnant it wouldn't be a huge "Un Oh!" to
her...She took a pregnancy test this
evening, and it was negative. Although,
one of our other friends used the same
test, and the test didn't read positive
until the following day when her boyfriend
dug it from the trash...I can't imagin my
boyfriend knowing I was pregnant before I
knew I was pregnant!!!
Anyways, I wanted to know what everyone
else thought it could be. I posted this
on Vaginal Health section, only it's wrote
different...I wonder if it is a birth
control issue just by chance, but she has
been on this birthcontrol for two years at
least...

Yellowish thick discharge is normally a
sign of an infection such as a yeast
infection or something similar.
This could also be a side effect of
getting off of the birth control as well.
She should take a pregnancy test when her
next period is due. A note: That period
could be late, in fact there's a high
probability it will be, just because she's
quit birth control.
