BC pill and yeast infection
Posted: 06-24-08 07:57am

I started on tri cyclen lo two months ago, within 2 days of starting I got a yeast infection. I took two treatments of over the counter meds and thought I was cured.

However this month after getting my period and starting again on the pill I think I again getting an yeast infection, I have some itching and redness and pain when having sex.

Is this going to continue every month?? is there another pill that I should try or a different hormonal BC method? I hate condoms and my husband doesn´t care for them either.

I'd definitely talk to a doctor about it. It might be that if you switch, it will get better. Hormonal changes can cause yeast infections at times.
