Ok, so I am on Yaz and have been for over 4 months now. I use to have my period around the same time every month for the duration of about 7 days. When I started taking Yaz my period shortened to about 2-4 days max, again all occurring around the same time of the month. A few weeks ago (HAPPY NEW YEAR!!) I ended up getting a severe case of the flu. This was also in the middle of my Yaz pack. I have never been so sick in my life both throwing up and well; the other end was not so gracious either. It was the longest most painful non-stop night of my life and I thought I was going to end up in the hospital.
After that night I was still a little nauseous but all the actual flu *activities* ceased. I rested for like 3 days, was not able to eat much but I did manage to take in as much water as I could. I literally lost 10 pounds in one night (I weighed myself a couple days after). Not a few days later I started spotting and soon after that I got my period. I was in the middle of my pack about two weeks or so early and I never missed a day of the pill. I read up that women can have early onset of their period from the flu or serious stress so I figured it was normal and I continued with the pack as usual.
However, it has been over a week now and I am still having my period. I have 2 more hormone pills left before I start the 4 placebos/sugar pills. This is usually the time I get my period. Is there something wrong with me that I am having it this long or is the early onset just responding to my continued use of the pack and will it stop sometime in a week or so when it normally would. I am just worried if this is a normal thing or if I may have damaged something internally from all the vomiting making my abdomen clench so tight.
I am starting to get worried. Should I wait the week and see if it ceases with the start of a new pack? Or should I seek a visit with the gyne to make sure I did not tear something internal? I have no pain or cramps and I do not feel weak or bloated, it is just the constant bleeding.
Please advise.
