Yaz Question
Posted: 12-01-07 19:59pm

Is it normal that I just started taking Yaz in July but haven't had more than spotting during the normal period week since september? I haven't been having sex at all (I don't even have a boufriend) and obviouslvy have been under a lot of stress. Should I be worried?

If you haven't been having sex then you're not pregnant but you know that.

Certain kinds of birth control pills can make your period go away; I think Yaz may be one of those kinds. Either way, a light period is not usually a problem.

Yaz does that. I get spotting for like 3 days and then it's gone, that's my "period."

That's normal. Give your body time to get used to it. If it still doesn't go away after a month, them you may have to switch. A lot of pills did that to me. Honestly, I am going off Yaz and trying Ortho Lo because I think ever since Yaz got popular, I have been getting different side effects. I wonder if they did something to save money. Not sure but I have been really tired and runned down lately and I never had that problem when I first started taking it. It makes me feel depressed too. Anyways, good luck

You should give a new birth control 3 full months before switching unless the bleeding is causing exhaustion.

Well you can still have sex even if you're bleeding but that's a personal preference.

I know but thats really not how I pictured my first time would be. I hate yaz. I've been bleeding for 2 weeks, my cramps have intensified x10, I get a headache like everyday, I get nausea all the time. I hate it. I'm calling my doctor to switch to ortho tricyclen lo tomorrow.
