Breakthrough bleeding lasting 2-3 weeks after surgery ?! Posted: 02-11-08 02:51am
Recently, on January 9th, I had
cryosurgery done to remove cervical
abnormalities. I am also taking Yaz, and
about 3 weeks ago I accidentally skipped 2
pills. I took one as soon as I realized,
and another one at my regular time. I was
going to take the other pill also to make
up for it but then I decided that is
probably too much hormones. So I went
home and read the leaflet for the
prescription which said if you miss 2
pills or more in the 3rd or 4th week of
the pack (which I was) to throw away the
pack and start a new one. Well even
though I had already taken two that day I
decided to just start a new one. I got my
period the next morning ( early, but this
is normal for me ) and had it for 4-5 days
then it stopped for a couple of days and
then started spotting. I have been
spotting/breakthrough bleeding since, and
it has been nearly 2 weeks. Also some of
the blood is very dark, almost black in
color. Aside form this being a nuisance,
I am concerned if anything could be wrong.
Is this normal after skipping pills and
starting a new pack?

I have no idea, you should call your
doctor since you had surgery for cervical
issues it might be related.
