I've often wondered about this correlation myself. I was on ortho tricyclen lo for about 6 months, and though I didn't have the frequency that you mention, I did have the constant intense burning that comes with having a UTI, even though there was no infection present. I'm currently on Estrostep and am having no problems. Perhaps you should find a different pill and see if it affects you differently.

Thanks for the input!
