I know you all must think im a paranoid
freak
(due to my other posts about pregnancy)
but I just was curious as to whether or
not bcp causes vaginal discharge? I know
it thickens your cervical mucus which
makes it harder for sperm to get through
(ortho tri cyclen lo). Ive been on them
for about 2 yrs. And in the past 8 months
(since I started worrying about
pregnancy), ive noticed whenever I wipe
(sorry to be gross), I have this clear
shiny discharge or sometimes light yellow
globs (not everytime I wipe). There's
been several times when it has come on to
my underwear. However, this past week it
has been worse (i actually feel wet at
times), could it just be this menstrual
cycle or the fact that I was on xanax xr
for a month and then a week ago today
started paxil cr, so there are a lot of
changes going on in my body between the
hormones in the bcp and whatever chemicals
the paxil is releasing. I know I dont
have any infections cuz ive been having
abdominal pains and I have been seeing
numerous drs. Since march all of which
have taken urine samples and cultures, one
just done a few weeks ago, which came back
fine.
Any ideas?

A clear discharge is normal.It is your
body's way of cleansing itself.The yellow
blobs could be just normal tissue that
has been sloughed off.I get that
sometimes,too.As long as you have had it
checked out,try to calm down-or you will
make yourself sick!!Good luck to you.Patty

Not unless your name is mary and your
fiance is joseph and he is a carpenter.Not
planning any trips to bethlehem,are
you??Seriously,if you have had negative
preg tests and you get your period,you
could not be pregnant.Especially if you
have not had sex in 3 months-just doesn't
happen.Sweetie,you are headed for a
nervous breakdown if you do not stop
obsessing over a pregnancy that does not
exsist.I wish you the best.Patty

It's normal.. It may not happen to
everyone, but I get the same thing on bc.
I remember when I first went on being
concerned.. But it was ok'd by the doc.
Then this past year I went off the pill
and went on the depo shot.. I hardly had
any discharge all year except the
occasional natural discharge. Then a few
weeks ago I started back but I am on the
patch (same hormones as the pill though).
And now the discharge is back.. So i'd
say you're fine.
