I've been on the pill for a couple months without much of a problem. I initially started taking Femcon, along with an antibiotic (for acne) which caused me to contract a severe yeast infection. I then immediately stopped taking the antibiotic thinking that the problem would be solved. However, a couple months later new symptoms had arised. I found myself having painful cramps in the abdominal area, foul cloudly smelling urine, light brownish spotting, light white milky discharge, and slight itch/discomfort. I used an over the counter yeast infection kit on two separate occasions which seemed to be unresponsive. Are my symptoms normal or a possibility due to taking the Femcon? Does it sound like I have more of a UTI or a yeast infection? I don't have insurance so It's very difficult to run back and fourth to a doctor. Has anyone tried the over the counter yeast and UTI tests?
