Birth Control causing yeast infections?


I had to stop taking my birth control because it gave me yeast infections regularly. Do you know of any birth control that would be better for me? (I took Levlen).

Mircette may be another option but the thing I found that was helpful to trying to keep yeast infections from being a problem while on the pill is taking acidophillous tablets. You can find them in the big drugstores like Wal-Mart.

I would also recommend talking to your doctor to see what other birth control pill might be a good option for you to try that might be able to keep yeast infections from being more of a problem.
