I have no more white vaginal discharge since I stopped taking the contraceptive pill 2 months ago?

Is this normal? Before I took the birth control pill 10 years ago, I had a lot of them. Does this mean that I am not ovulating?

Hello ma'am,

I want to reassure you. Decreased discharge does not necessarily mean no ovulation. Also, it could be that the appearance of your discharge has changed over the past 10 years.

That being written, a return to a normal menstrual cycle may take between 3 to 6 months after stopping the pill.

Hopefully I have reassured you, I remain available if you have any further questions!

Cordially,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
