yaz : very light pink or brown bleeding b/c of birth control pi Posted: 12-12-07 07:02am
I was prescribed yaz by my doctor for
protection, and was told to wait to start
until the first day of my period. So I
waited, and took the pills. It's been 8
days on it now and my entire period was
very light sometimes pink or brown. I was
wondering if this was because of the pills
or if I should be worried because it
sounds a lot like implantation bleeding.
Me and my boyfriend were fooling around 3
days prior to me starting the pills, but
I'm still a virgin. I've read though that
you can get pregnant without having sex.
It happened to a girl I know too. What do
you think?

There's no way to get pregnant without
having sex unless you are artificially
inseminated. In fact, not having sex
(abstinence) is the only 100% secure
contraceptive method. Contraceptive pills
are also very efficient (above 99%) ...
but only if used properly.
It seems that your period changed because
of the contraceptive pills. That is normal
and expected so you can continue taking
the birth control pills according to the
prescription. Implantation bleeding
doesn't exist in medical circles.
