The exact same thing happened to me while starting Yaz. Actually I ended up bleeding for a total of about 9-10 days. Since then I've had no problems and my period only lasts 2 days.
Around day 7 I did call my doctor. She said that it should stop shortly and was probably happening because I switched to Yaz from a higher-dose pill and my body was still adjusting to lower-dosed Yaz. Previously I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen, which has 35mcg of estrogen. Yaz only has 20mcg estrogen. Basically, when I started taking Yaz, it didn't have the amount of estrogen in it that usually made my period stop.
Your body probably just needs to adjust. I doubt you'll have your period for much longer.
I feel your pain... I guess it's all natural. Have you consulted a doctor yet? I would recommend that. Another thing: I wish Charles Darwin went into more research about the female organs...
