hi everyone. I am 20 yrs old and have been on Ovcon35 for about 4 months now. It worked great and straigtened everything out... periods were normal and stuff but I started getting bacterial infections when I started using it. The only thing I can think of that I changed from the time i didn't get them to the time i did was the BC. well ive been treated for Gardnerella 3 times now with the same antibiotic... clindesse. It came back again so I am being treated now. My dr took me off the pill bc I told her it could possibly be them that are causing it bc i haven't changed partners (been with only one ive ever had for a yr), soap, detergent anything like that. So she took me off it 2 days ago (Wed. was my first day not taking the pill) Today, I see that I am having some bleeding. Like when I wipe and on a pad... is this normal when you stop BC? Is my cycle gonna be all messed up??? Has anyone been in this situation b4?

Please help me! I'm so confused! Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!
