Been getting reoccurring yeast infection (8 wks), could it be due to my higher dose birth control (min ovral)? ive been on it since feb.

Yes: Some women do get more yeast infections while on birth control pills. Talk to your doctor about other options for birth control. Sometimes a different type of birth control pill can help.
