I got several yeast infections while on this pill over the course of a year. I knew this was contributing to it but I also think the sex irritated my vagina anyway, so I think it made my body more susceptible to the infections. Because I use the pill, I usually allow my partner to ejaculate inside of me, and I think that this may also by why the infections occurred so often. It might not have been the BC at all. I'd say I had at least 5 awful infections, including the vulvitis each time.... Once, an urgent care dr prescribed me steroid cream because I was so irritated. My breasts definitely increased a cup size and made me moody/ and depressed. Before I took the pill, however, I've dealt with depression and related mania, so the BC might not actually be doing this either. I had little to no acne whatsoever, no bloating, only very minimal cramping a few hours before I would start bleeding and my periods were mild, and usually light. Otherwise, it did what it was supposed to do and we'll see how the next one goes!
