My dermatologist put me on Yaz for acne.
I started the pills on what I thought was
the first day of my period...but now I
think it was only spotting. So I took the
pills 4 days before my period actually
started. THen when I did get my period it
was very light for 3 days and now has been
VERY heavy for 6 days. THis is very
unusual for me. My period always lasted
4-5 days with a medium flow at most. It
doesn't show any signs of stopping anytime
soon either. SHould I be concerned about
this long period? Could it be becuase I
started the pills early? Why am I having
such a long period? I'm still taking the
pills, but I'm getting worried and I'm not
so sure it's worth it. I haven't been on
birth control for over 5 years since I had
my tubes tied after my last child was
born....this is purely for control acne
and PMDD. Please give me your
opinions...I'm quite worried. THank you
so much.

It's not a problem if you started early...
Your period may be odd on the pills, and
you may just have to wait this month out.
I'd just wait it out, as long as you're
not filling a ton of pads or tampons in an
hour...

I hated yaz, but I've always been
irregular but never like that. When I was
on Yaz I started bleeding like crazy in
the middle of my pill pack. Happened every
month I took it but never around the same
time. No other BC pill has done that with
me. When I stopped taking Yaz I bled
heavily for 4 weeks until I got desogen.
