Upon doing my research. I have discovered that the MANY women who experience BV and recurrent BV have used a form of birth control even after discontinuation. I didn't have BV until using Depo Provera injection which caused "breakthrough bleeding". This "breakthrough bleeding" came with a horrible smell.
I went back to my doctor who did not tell me what it was but said he knew what I was talking about and he switched me to another birth control. I later discovered what this smell was called. BV has been a ****** nasty nuisance and experience ever since.
No clinician can tell me that birth control does not cause BV. Yes, BV is caused by a PH imbalance and this is caused by birth control which alters a woman's hormone levels which also disrupts her normal PH balance.
I tried for two years to get pregnant after discontinuing birth control and having my child 2 years before. It didn't happen until 5 years later.
It is more to birth control that the creators want women and clinicians to know or tell. I will never use hormonal contraception ever again.
