Has any one else had this problem with Ortho? (Not problems with bleeding, just Yeast infection)
I started the generic brand for Ortho Tri Cyclen(TriSprintec) back in March with no problems. In April, I combined two sample packs of the actual Ortho Tri Cyclen to reschedule my period.
Although I've never had a problem with TriSprintec, from first week I was on the Ortho Lo I had Yeast Infection symptoms. I treated it with medicine and after a week or two it went away. Then I started my period, and it lasted three weeks (breakthrough bleeding the first, barely their the second, actual period the third).
When it came time to begin taking the pill again, I finished the first week of Ortho from my last pack, then began with the TriSprintec left over from the first week of April.
Should I wait and see if things go back to normal in a week or two or should I try and treat it again? Also, I know this is way out in left field, but are their any STD's that you can come in contact with in every day conditions that might cause this? A lady I work with has Herpes (According to the rumor mill of course) and that's been in the back of my mind too.

Some women on some pills can have more issues with yeast.
