I have a similar situation. Except I was previously diagnosed with
yeast infection & BV. But I read on some website about progesterone
creating a thick white discharge. I stopped taking the pill, but I have
a thick white discharge that does not smell and I do not itch down
there. Could this be a long term affect of the pill or could it just be
my infection(s) again? I just want an opinion. Thanks!
