Welcome to EmpowHER. Combination birth control pills also cause changes in the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to keep sperm from joining the egg.It is a similar effect to that seen in pregnancy when estrogen levels rise naturally. As long as there’s no other symptoms. Such as burning, itching or any discomfort, it’s most likely caused by the pill. It’s still important to let your doctor know of any new symptom you are experiencing with your medication.
