Discharge on the pill?

I've been on Yasmine for about 7 months now. I understand that the pill is supposed to stop ovulation altogether, but why is it that I still get a heavy discharge at certain times of my pill pack? Is this ovulation discharge? It's usually on my second week (or row) of pills. I hope it isn't ovulation discharge b/c then the pills would be completely pointless.

Please help.

Hi there!

If it's any help at all, I'm on OTC Lo and I have different discharge each week! I definitely notice it getting heavier and whiter in week three. But there's also a change in it as soon as I take my pill on day one. I'm sure it has something to do with the amount of estrogen in the pill. I've also heard that people on Yasmin do tend to have a heavier discharge (but I'm no doctor!). I wouldn't worry about it - the way I remember my discharge when ovulating (when I wasn't on the pill) there was NO mistaking what it was!
