Women Only! (please guys, spare yourself)

talk to your doctor. It could be your body's way of reacting to the Birthcontrol, or it could be more.... so, talk to your dr. I have been having issues like this for a few months now, and my doc and I still haven't figured out what exactly is going on... There are alot of parts of your body that can effect your period, and everyone is different. Your doctor will give you the best advice

Don't cry. See your doctor. Everything will be okay.

First of all, deep breath, it's going to be okay. Have you recently started taking any new kind of medication, herbal or diet supplement? (I know when I was on the HCG diet, that triggered alot of break-through bleeding.) Sometimes our hormones spike and your body could suddenly be having a reaction to your birth control? Especially as our bodies are changing due to more exercise and you start losing (or gaining) weight, your hormones will change to keep up with what you need. Call your Doctor tomorrow just to be sure everything is normal, as I am not a medical professional, this is just my humble personal opinion. Hang in there! Hugs!

For me, I've been on Yaz for about two and a half years. Sometimes... things just change. I used to get my period on the third white pill of every pack and it'd last for five days exactly. Then suddenly, I started getting it on the first or second pill of the new pack, and it lasted for 3-4 days. Sometimes I get headaches a few months in a row. Sometimes I get cramps. I think sometimes things just change. If you bleed for a very long time (like more than a normal period would last), then I think you should see a doctor. But it's better to get your period earlier than not at all! Don't worry!

Certain things can make the pill ineffective and spur on an early period. For example: if you miss more than two days... that can bring on a period that can last almost all month (mostly spotting but very annoying), also if you take certain other drugs... ie: St Johns Wort... can stop the pill working effectively... if you need to take it, take SJW in the morning and Pill at night so they are opposite ends of the day... NOT TOGETHER.... and that should be ok (worked for me). :flowerforyou:

There are plenty of other things that can impact the pill etc... these two things are things i found out the hard way... so put on a pad or tampon and make an appt to see your GP.... while your waiting for your appointment, thing of everything you have taken (vitamins / tablets) or have changed in the past week..... and you will be fine... :flowerforyou:

Chin up honey! You WILL be fine... these things happen.

ETA: I take Brenda-35 which is the Australian version of Diane-35... I find its perfect, it helps reduce acne and weight gain.

It's probably due to the switch. It takes about 3 months to equilibrate going on/off the pill or switching. I had break-through bleeding when I switched pills too, which I did about 3 times. I am now off the pill and my period showed up exactly 28 days after my last one, then went away after 5 days like normal, then came back 2 weeks later for another 5 days, and now it's gone again. Who knows when it will come back! :laugh: No tears! I'm sure your doc will figure it out.

I was on that pill and had my period non stop for about 5 or 6 months. I would switch if I were you!!

and you didn't stop sooner?? i was on bc for 20 days, and had my period for 20 days. that was enough to get me off it.

Don't worry about it! We've all had a medical freak-out moment at some time or another.

I agree with everyone else: try not to panic and talk to your doc. It's probably just the bc catching up to you, and even if it's something more serious (heaven-forbid), there's nothing you can do until you can get in to see him/her and find out.

Take a deep breath and burn that bridge when you come to it. We're here for you! :-)

I had been switching my pills so much that I was just hoping it would end and I would be normal. I wish I didn't let it go on for that long!

ugh. I know what you mean. I really should go back on some kind of BC, but instead I'm just suffering because I don't want to have to go through finding a medication that actually works for me, and doesn't screw up something else in the process.

Hope you found something finally!
