Birth Control = Tons of problems!

Then about a year ago I had what seemed to be a yeast infection. Extreme pain, sensitivity, the skin was raw and bright red. It stayed that way for a couple months before I bit the bullet and confessed to my mom that, mumbling, "I need to see the doctor..."
So we did yeast infection treatment. The problems seemed to go away. What I didn't realize at first though was that it slowly came back. My migraines also were nearly a daily problem. Yay for ibuprofen! Almost daily!
Another yeast infection came around. More medicine. Supposedly the first one didn't go away completely. It went away but during sex my vag would scream out in agony. No sex for me, headaches, and pain.
I did some research. Maybe a reaction to my boy's semen, maybe it's tampons, maybe its birth control?
Guess what. I stopped taking birth control and within a week I was a crazed headache-less sex demon. The "yeast infection" hasn't reared it's ugly head in the least. The pain during sex has gone away completely and my natural lubrication also came back. What's the best part? All of it. I don't know what it was about birth control... The hormones, confused body, etc etc. But if you're suffering from strange never ending yeast infections... Try it. The worst that will happen is necessity for condoms and having to restart the pill. Not a bad price to pay.
