    Please! Someone tell me if this is normal! (Regarding the Nuva Ring)

    About 5 days before New Years I came down with quite a nasty yeast infection. I began treating it with a three day treatment kit and removed my Nuva Ring birth control, which I have been on for almost three years now.

    I decided that due to the number of issues I had been having due to the Nuva Ring (UTI's, dryness, depression) I would talk to my doctor and see if there is another form of birth control that would be good for me. So a few days after new years I got my period. Lasted around 7 days and then stopped. I did not place a new Nuva Ring in after my period as I have been doing for three years. My doctors appointment is on wednesday.

    Ever since my period has stopped I have had very mild, yet annoying, itching. I thought I was getting another yeast infection but I haven't had any cottage cheese yeast and it hasn't gotten any worse. Just a very mild itch. It is super annoying. I've also noticed a ton more discharge than I ever had before. It's not like buckets or anything, but I feel like I am having my period in my panties and it's just discharge. It's clearish/white and thick it does not resemble yeasty discharge at all. It does not have any odor.

    I have no pain when urinating, no sores, and no odor, just this mild itch and increase in discharge. I don't know what's going on!

    I am sexually active but have been monogamous with the same partner for three and a half years now. Assuming he wouldn't cheat (I trust him and he's just not that kind of guy) what is going on?

    Help.Me.

    (Thanks.)

      perhaps your acidity is a bit uneven, maybe try acigel- though i'm not sure if that would make your ring defective or not...
