Mircette and vaginal itch?

Hi, I am just finishing my first month of mircette. Since beginning this pill, I have had severe on/off vaginal itching. It is not a yeast infection, my doctor thinks it is the change in hormone levels. Has anyone else had this side effect?

Thanks

I am not on mircette, I am taking loestrin 1/20 which is also a lower estrogen pill. I am just starting my 4th month and I have noticed the same problem you are talking about.

If you are sure there is no infection, could it be maybe you are allergic to something or did you try a new laundry detergent?

otherwise I'd say give it a few more cycles and if it still really bothers you, ask your dr. to switch you to a new pill.
