Thanks so much for your reply.
It's my understanding that due to the double-dose (twice daily) of the Introvale, the excess estrogen (0.06 mg of ethinyl estradiol) caused something called Leukorrhea. In theory, it should balance back out as my body acclimates to what will be my regular pill. My doc changed my script to Briellyn (I start the pack today) so that only the progesterone portion will be more than doubled. I've been back to single dose of Introvale for five days and my cycle has broken through to close to normal flow.
For anyone interested, here's the hormonal breakdown:
Introvale (was taking twice daily after the first four weeks) - 0.15 mg of levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen and 0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol,
Briellyn - 0.4 mg norethindrone USP and 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol USP
My estrogen numbers were never deficient so I wonder if maybe I just don't need ANY extra. Time will tell.
Hello,
What you had was heavy bleeding and birth control pills is the first line of treatment. This watery discharge can be found and it should become better with usage.
