spotting after starting new pill pack Posted: 03-22-08 15:11pm
Hi there,
I have been on the BC Yasim for about 8
months now and it has been working great
to regulate my periods which were all over
the place before.
Well last month we were going to Florida
and my Period was due while we were away
so my dr told me i could start a new pack
of my pills rather then take the white
reminder pills and my period would not
come.
Well that worked great no period while
away but when i got to my second week on
the new pack i started spotting abit and
bleeding a bit ... not alot but enough to
require a pantyliner and its bright red
not browny colored.
What could be the problem anyone have any
ideas? Do you think this is likley being
caused from skipping the sugar pills and
going to straight to a new pack?
Its been about 6 days now with this light
bleeding ... my normal period only lasts
about 3 days!
Thanks for any replies!

This spotting is completely normal because
you skipped your period. Your cycle should
return to normal after your next placebo
week.

i was on yasmin 28 pack for a full year
until i finally made the switch to a
different birth control. I found that with
yasmin if you missed a day of your pills
it makes you reallyl really sick. i would
be puking for days at a time.
But to your question.
yes it is normal because you did not have
your period that month. It is only okay to
skip your period but only when you NEED
NEED too. You should have a period normal
the next month if you take all your pills
right.
I'm going through the same thing right
now. I changed my birth control i started
it this month.. sunday is my last pill so
i get my period next week.. but for a
couple of days now i have had spotting and
weirdly dark brown bleeding.. i'm thinking
its cuz i changed packs or something and
my body is not use to it.
so just keep taking your pills everyday
and if this keeps continuing id see your
doc.
