could you have a yeast infection? you can have one without having the itchiness/burning sensations. i just started the patch, im on my second week and a couple days ago i started having a little bit of whitish yellowish discharge and burning and itching, i called my gyno and she said it sounded like a yeast infection and sent me a script for some 7 day cream. she said yeast infections were normal when you are getting on and off the pill bc of the change in hormones which effects the ph in your vagina. i would call your gyno and ask for a script for something for yeast. you can have a yeast infection for a while and it will just get worse, its not something that is going to just go away, it might get better for a while but it will come back unless you take medicine for it bc you have to kill the infection and the candida overgrowth. most of the time when you have a thick, whitish discharge it's a yeast infection.
