I Screwed My Period Up With Yasmin.. Help! Posted: 07-06-04 13:31pm
Ok .. I am a ditz. I got my period on
june 24th- the day before I was set to go
on vacation. So I read online (stupid me
for not asking my doc) that if you skip
your last week of pills (you know, the
placebos) you can skip your period-- errr,
me not thinking, "well it is already here
1 day so i'm out of luck" --i did it. I
started a new pack (after only taking 3 of
the placebos) and it made my period oh so
light (but still there.. Which is fine.)
now, 11 days later, it's still happening!
But not the normal consistency- just a
little here & there.... I called my
doc today (and after a lecture) & he
said that this is normal until my body
gets back on track... And there is no set
amount of time.
Has this happened to anyone else?? How
long did it last? Am I a complete
person?

You either have to skip your period
completely (start one pack right after
another) or have your period. You don't
have to take the placebos at all, but
don't start your new pack unless it is
time.
If you skip your period you have to let
yourself have a period every third month.
Your doctor should have told you that.
It may take your body a full month to stop
spotting. Just be careful next time.
We all make mistakes, just learn from them
and it is fine!Lol.
