I was taking YAZ for 2 weeks and had horrible side effects. Headaches, horrible nausea, and tons of emotional side effects to the point it was effecting my relationship with my boyfriend and my family.

I have stopped taking it 4 days ago and next month plan to switch to a different BC. Most of the side effects have gone away but now i have gotten my period! Sad

Sad

I had my last one 2 weeks ago and am not due for the next one until the 10th of sept. It has me very worried.
My question.......is this normal for me to get my period after stopping YAZ even though i should get it for another 2 weeks?

I would be very grateful for all opinions and advice about this.

It is very normal to have withdraw bleeding from going off birth control! It's not something to worry about at all.

My other question would be......should i still expect my period at the normal time in 2 weeks? Or will it take a few months for my cycle to return to normal?

It could take a few months. I definitely wouldn't expect it in two weeks since you're bleeding now. Count this as your first off-pill period.

ALSO you can start a new pill ANYTIME, not just when you are on your period!

You just have to wait 7 full days for it to be effective.

What if you have already ovulated?

That is why you must wait 7 full days...

It takes 7 full days to put your ovaries at rest, which is important if you start the pill BEFORE you ovulate.

If you start AFTERWARDS, the wiating 7 full days is important because the egg dies within 48 hours, there is a small window, it is not very much time.

NOW, if you have already ovulated, and you worry about preganncy from sex..

A copper IUD can be inserted within 7 days of sex, and it does prevent implantation as well.

This just happened to me after stopping Nuva. Some girls get their period and some don't, it's just all really weird. But now I'm nervous because I don't know when I'm going to get my period next month...I'm scared I messed up my cycle because I already had a period this month and now I'm having another one! Stupid birth control!
