Does higher estrogen dose in the pill means increased vaginal discharge?

Can you answer Meredith .’s question about Menopause?:

The amount of vaginal discharge largely depends on estrogen in the blood. Sometimes women who use birth control pills notice that the amount of their discharge has increased. Does this mean that taking birth control pills higher in estrogen (such as 0.3mg vs 0.2mg) results in more vaginal discharge?

Can you answer College girl’s question about Menopause?:

I am a college student who loves to run. I usually run 4-6 miles 6 days a week, and am 5′5 at 112 lbs. I also dont eat a lot of meat. I haven’t gotten my period for almost 2 years and realize that I must do so to reduce my risk for developing osteoperosis in the future. My doctor recommended birth control, but I really do not want to take it for several reasons, one being the side affects that result from pumping my body full of hormones. Is there another way to increase my estrogen levels and start menstruating again? I think if I try to gain about 5 lbs that should start things flowing again, but that’s easier said than done considering I eat a lot now (I have to walk a lot plus the running). Are there any other suggestions for me, or any tips to help me “thicken” up without “jelling up”? Thanks!
