Q: Yasmin aquestion and Irregular Period

Hi,

Well this month my girlfriend had a irregular period and she is on Yasmin, and has been on it for at least 6 months. Her period this month was ligher than normal. Normally it is a regular period that lasts about 5 days. This one was lighter and only lasted 3 days. Shealso had recieved it a day later. When we have sex I also use a condom and also pull out before anything happens. I was just wondering, if this is normal for her, since she is stressing out about it.

Thanks

Over time birth control is SUPPOSED to make your periods shorter and lighter!

That would be considered 100% normal.

I was just wondering since it was a lot shorter and lighter than her previous one. I mainly think it is because of stress because she has been fighting with her father and also the workload of being in her last semester of college and also working has increased recently.

I also was reading that people said that it could mean that the person is pregnant but I really don't see how it would really be possible in this situation.

NO, it is NOT because of stress.

It is because of the pill.

STRESS can affect periods when you are NOT on the pill, but the pill takes over your cycle and changes it.

Most likely she will continue to have shorter and lighter periods.
