This pill caused vaginal dryness which led to chronic water infections. I was suffering with these almost all the time for a year before I was started on prophylactic antibiotics. This settled down within weeks of stopping taking contraceptive pills. It also caused severe acid reflux. This also settled down within a few weeks of stopping the pill. I have been on other combined pills which haven’t caused the acid reflux but have experienced vaginal dryness on a variety of combined pills.
I have experienced the dryness as well and sex drive has definitely decreased! Are you now completely off contraception or have you gone on to use another pill?
