Spotting On Yaz - not enough progestin?
Posted: 12-18-07 19:34pm

I've been on Yaz for about 8 months, and continue to have spotting in the middle of my cycle. I take the pill regurally, within hours of a certain time every day. I'm certainly not pregnant.

I've read that spotting is caused by mybody not recieving enough progestin. Is this true? And if it is what pills out there have more progesting than Yaz, 3mg drospirinone?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

I've been having the same problems with yaz and I'm thinking of going back to ortho-tricyclen because I never had any problems with it. I also end up having a longer period on yaz even though it's supposed to give you a "3 day period." I'm not sure about the progestin levels, but since so many women are on ortho-tricyclen I assume that it's one of the best out there, and from personal experience I'd say that it's much better than yaz.
