Q: Yaz use
asked by: Jasonsbaby on August 25th, 2008

I'm on Yaz. I started it last Tuesday during my period. My period started that Sunday. Well while I was on the active pills of Yaz my period was not stopping at all. I was on Ortho Cyclen before this and I took just one of those active pills and my period stopped later that day. I have been taking my Yaz at the same time everyday and ever since I took the old birth control I have had no problems. Could it be like this every month or maybe just the first?

Have you talked to your doctor about this?

Is this an all our period or is it just a little spotting? Breakthrough bleeding is a side effect and you may need to be on a different pill if it continues, but most side effects go away after your body gets used to the hormones (3 months is usually around the time they would stop if they are going to stop).

Um, I don't think I'd recommend taking different pills. It's probably a good idea to stick with one brand until you officially switch.

Different BC methods will affect you in different ways, even between brands of the same method. Give it several more days/weeks before you consider switching, I'd say. I was on Yaz for 11 months, and it never did me wrong. It regulated my periods down to the minute, quite literally. So try it out for a while before you make any judgments. Talking with your doctor would help, too.
