Hello there,
There have been incidences of women having a higher chance of yeast infections and insulin resistance when they are on microgynon . Certain people are more susceptible to them and you seem to be one amongst them. Maybe you can discuss with your OBGYN about a possible alternative method of contraception.
Hope this helps,
