    BC side effects

    Hi, I'm 29 and just started taking BC for the first time. It's been 4 days and I think I have a side effect but don't see much of others having this. I am experiencing vaginal itchiness and it's very uncomfortable. Will this go away or should I seek a different brand? Currently on tricira lo

      Hi Enchi. I don't think itching is a common side effect of BC. It could be coincidence and perhaps your PH is off and you've gotten an infection. You could try some over the counter anti-feminine itch wipes. But, if it doesn't go away very soon, I would call the doctor to discuss.
