I noticed increased, yellowish discharge last week and made a doctor's appointment, as I suspected bacterial vaginosis. When I tested my vaginal pH with a Vagisil screening kit, it indicated my pH was very high (over 7). I thought for sure I had BV and went to the doctor this afternoon.
She didn't find ANYTHING, even though I requested that she look for BV, trick, and send off samples for chlamydia and gonorrhea, too. She said she didn't think ANYTHING would come back positive, and that I should just wait til I take the ring out on Friday, have a period, and observe the discharge after that.
Suddenly I'm now realizing, as I search through the NuvaRing prescriber information online, that I inserted the Ring two days late last time. My boyfriend never ejaculates into me, and we don't often have sex, but I'm absolutely terrified I'm pregnant and that I WON'T get a period.
Please help!!! Am I overreacting?

I have had the same kind of problem with discharge while being on the pill and thinking it's infection. I have gone to my doctor about this several times and found out that what was causing it was the hormone in the medication.
The hormone in the medication can change the color and thickness of the discharge in some women according to what my doctor told me.
