Pica!: Hi Anne, What you are describing is Pica. This is the craving of usually non-edible things. Some women eat clay (dirt) or laundry starch. Other women eat ice non-stop. The need for PICA is seen primarily when there is a hormonal change such as you are experiencing with Depo (progesterone) followed by Estrogen and Progesterone in the pill. These hormones are also influencing your discharge.
