"i have been on this pill for 9 years and have always loved it. i basically never have a period and have never been pregnant or had a pregnancy scare. however, i got my first yeast infection after about 4 months on this pill. my doctor at the time told me this was normal in women. i have been getting yeast infections 3-5 times a year since starting this pill. my new doctor has informed me that this many yeast infections is, in fact, not normal. i have just switched my birth control."
