Common Questions and Answers about Yaz and breakthrough bleeding

Avatar f tn One month ago, I stopped taking the Depo shot, and started taking Yaz when I was due for my injection. I've just started on my second pack of Yaz and I started my period with severe cramping, I had not had a period since I first started the shot, which was 6 months ago, I thought you wouldn't get your period back after Depo for several months??? Also along with my bleeding I had light brown discharge with no odor, my period has stopped but the brown discharge is continuing..
Avatar f tn Breakthrough bleeding also depended on other factors like dose, potency, and activity of the particular progestin in the combined OC as well as the ratio of the estrogen and progestin in the formulation and other factors like missed pills and smoking. So this bleeding that you are having is breakthrough bleeding, but it is important to find out whether it is due to switching the contraceptive pills or due to pregnancy.
Avatar n tn Your bleeding now because your body is backed up, and when you skip your period (for that long) you increase your chances of having breakthrough bleeding and spotting. Why were you skipping your period? Is it that bad you can't deal with it for a few days out of the month? Possibly I would suggest to stop taking your pills for a month or two, to let your body have a period, and then start your pills again either on the sunday start or during your period.
484167 tn?1210001396 ok i need some help here...i was on yaz for about 10 months when my periods started going hay-wire...like i would get a period in the middle of my cycle and not get my period while taking the"reminder pills"...my dr. gave me yasmin since i guess the level of estrogen is a little stronger...i have been taking it for over a week...i feel pregnant. my body feels just like it did when i was pregnant and i don't remember feeling this way at all when i started the yaz almost a year ago.
993114 tn?1249429629 and i am just concerned because my period which is usually 5 days has become what seems to be 10 days. and i would like to know if this is actually breakthrough bleeding, so something chlamydia related that i should be worried about.
405998 tn?1222396217 t know about using Yaz to shrink cysts, but I was on Yaz for years until I eventually had breakthrough bleeding and had to stop. Yaz was the only birth control pills that didn't make me feel crazy from mood swings or depression. I see those lawyer ads on TV also, but I really liked Yaz.
290867 tn?1333569278 My doctor switched me to YAZ and I have been taking it a week and I have been having the worst neausea and the normally light blue veins in my abdomen are more prominent.... Whats this about. Should I call my OB and see if it is normal? I am so confused. Has anyone taken Yaz and had similar reactions? hmmm... I did have a slip up in taking 2 pills last month during days 7-14 (2 consecutive pills) and it jumpstarted my AF and then when I went on the inactive pills I had no AF.
Avatar m tn My doctor also had put me on Gianvi as a birth control and it worked awesome everything was finally regular until my drugstore had changed my birthcontrol to larnya which is another version of Gianvi but halfway through the month I started to bleed I thought it was breakthrough bleeding so my doctor put me on Beyaz and told me to take 2 a day until the bleeding stopped and then the next month they will put me back on Gianvi or on Yaz (which is technically still the same thing)She also said I c
Avatar n tn In the 5th month I got breakthrough bleeding midcycle which lasted a week, brown dark blood. I was unhappy with YAZ anyway, so I stopped taking the pill. I still had about 6 hormone pills left before the placebo pills started. That was 4 weeks ago and I still haven't gotten a period. I should have gotten a withdrawal bleed about 3-4 weeks ago. I've taken countless pregnancy tests - the last sex I had was on March 26th.
1447404 tn?1284604228 As far has the birth control, it did lighten my period and made it shorter as well. I never had breakthrough bleeding with it. My body reacts to medications very well...I've never had any bad side affects from anything I took.
Avatar n tn and i cant even bring myself to smile anymore. my breakthrough bleeding is horrible and i have no appetite. ive lost almost 10 lbs in about 2 weeks..i plan on calling the doctor tomorrow because tonight was such a bad night as far as side effects go. ive been crying over everything and anything. has anyone else experienced these horrible side effects???
368785 tn?1270432283 m ten weeks post partum, yet i still seem to be having abnormal mucous-y bleeding. i stopped bleeding three weeks after having lily, and at my 6 week check up i was on my period. i started the pill 6 weeks and 5 days after giving birth. i stopped bleeding at the end of my cycle, but started spotting a couple days after starting the pill. over the past few days the 'flow' has been heavy enough to need a tampon.
Avatar n tn Would breakthrough bleeding be that heavy [it was a decent sized pool of blood, not like a ton but a good amount] and only happen once? A couple days later I did get a bit of brown discharge as well which looked somewhat like dry blood. Could this have been related? Sorry for all the questions but you've been very helpful, I really appreciate it!!!
Avatar n tn after all it is not her falt, tell her to talk with her doctor about YAZ it is good and worked good for me and my moods,
Avatar f tn You can have breakthrough bleeding while on the pill. Did this happen before you started on any time of birth control pills though? If so, then the problem might be not enough natural lubrication. Have you and your boyfriend ever tried a lubricant to see if that helps?
Avatar f tn I AM NOW SEEING ALOT OF LAWSUITS BEING ADVERTISED FOR YAZ....SIDEEFFECTS BEING BLOOD CLOTS, PULMONARY ISSUES AND SO ON ....HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH YAZ AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT....WHAT CAN I ALSO DO FOR THE MOODS...ANY SUGGESTIONS...
1163100 tn?1262843445 I was on the patch for 4 years. I highly reccomend it. It did it's job and I never had breakthrough bleeding. I switched to implanon, the implant that's the new norplant device. (goes in your arm). When I got it I was on my period. 2 weeks later, I started again. After that I had light bleeding everyday for 3 months until I got it taken out. If the bleeding continues then you should call your doctor or read over the side effects. Sometimes bleeding like that is normal.
Avatar n tn I had sex about 8 days ago, and my boyfriend and I used a condom and he pulled out. I am also on YAZ BC pills. I take these pills everyday at times varying between 2-3 hours roughly. Last month I took my placebo pills one day earlier as I had lost one of the pink active tablets and didn't have a replacement. I also had one day between my placebo pill and the next active pill where I didn't take anything as I had to buy a new pack. I took two pills the next day to make up for that.
Avatar f tn t seem to have any other signs of pregnancy, besides bleeding, which seems to be too heavy to be implantation bleeding (light pink and brown). The bleeding i'm experiencing is darker red with some small clotting. What are the chances that my birth control stopped me from ovulating? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I occasionally have breakthrough bleeding and so I go off of the pills for a week when that happens, and have a period. My periods have always been horrible and clotty and painful. Same when I have them now. I have about 2 a year, and that is perfectly fine. It is actually beneficial to NOT have periods in terms of preventing ovarian cancer and other cancers(not breast cancer) and so I continue to take them. No other problems.
Avatar m tn m unhappy with this so my OBGYN switched me to Zovia, which I do not like. My question is, could YAz and Topamax at 50-100mg, be taken together?
Avatar f tn I liked it better then Loestrin, since while on Loestrin I had breakthrough bleeding every single day. (So annoying.) But even with Femcon, I had breakthrough during the third week, but I was reading that a lot of women get breakthrough bleeding during the first couple of months.
Avatar n tn I apologize up front if this is in the wrong place or if someone has already asked about this. I'm just scared after reading some stuff... I have kind of been on my period for about 2 1/2 weeks, except the last week and a half have been spotting. I've been on Yaz for over a year now...for an ovarian cyst....and this is very unusual. Also, for no explainable reason, my lower back has been killing me the past couple of days. It's absolutely excruciating.
Avatar m tn I'm on my second week of Junel fe 1/20 and have been bleeding the last few days, and the first week I have problens stayin wet, is this because of the Birth Control
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced breakthrough bleeding at 8 weeks and then stayed pregnant?
Avatar f tn For the first 3 months I had thrush exactly a week before I was due on every month as well as breakthrough bleeding. That went by the 4th month but the breakthrough bleeding still happened. It started slowly going so I thought finally I was getting somewhere but its suddenly increased again. The doctors are now putting me on a new pill called Gedarel which contains 30 mg ethinylestradiol and 150mg desogestrel.
Avatar f tn I am breakthrough bleeding during week 2 of birth control pills. Should I stop this pack and if yes, when do I start the new pack?
1310992 tn?1274217387 I hope we dont scare you more but you really need to do research on Yaz and give it to your parents and Dr! Good luck sweety and keep us updated please!
