Annoyingly LONG Period?!


Question: Annoyingly LONG Period!?
I've been on Yaz since Feb and I've absolutely not problems!. Periods have been on schedule, regular, light, and short!.

I wish I could say that for this round!. 3 weeks ago today I started a new Yaz birth control pack!. During the second week of taking the new pack I got my period (which is odd since I shouldn't get one from taking the pink pills) and I've been on it ever since - now going on 2 weeks and a few odd days, which has become extremely irritating to deal with!.

Ladies - if you are taking (or have taken) Yaz BC, has something insane like this happened to you!? Why could this be happening!?

And:
Should I see my Women's Health doc about switching brands!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Go to the doctor as soon as you can!. You shouldn't have a period that lasts that long!. I had something like it once - doc called it "anovulatory period"!.

You said you shouldn't have gotten your period because you are taking the pink pills so this is a sign that something is not going right!.

Go to the doctor!. Not to scare you or anything, but I actually ended up having to have a transfusion once because my period was so heavy and so long!. I was embarrassed to tell my doctor until it was too late!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im taking Yaz!. I havent had this situation but have only been taking it for 2 months so Im not sure!. I did have a month long period (no exageration) on the ortho evra patch!. As soon as I switched it stopped but i would give it a few more days and call your Primary Care Physician!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try the nuva ring, you put it in, you forget, you take it out, you period, you stick it back in and the cycle continues, plus it doesnt give you headaches or nausea, cramps are minimized and it makes you less crankyWww@Answer-Health@Com

i haven't used Yaz, but if you've been on your period for 2 weeks, you should see a docter because you've probably lost a lot of blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Same thing happened to both my sister and I when taking Yaz! Go get your pills switched and it will make it go away!. I am so sorry, hope things get straightened out soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have no idea but I suggest you do see ur Women's Health doc!.
Good luck : )Www@Answer-Health@Com

ahh u should really see a doctor about this problem and not get a diagnoses from strangers off te internetWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes!.!. definitely go to your doctor!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't have a friend who's a doctor like in the commercial!? JeezWww@Answer-Health@Com

That's nothing!.

My cousin's period lasts three months!.
But she only gets it once a yearWww@Answer-Health@Com

Go see a doctor! Something could be wrong!. I once had my period for 10 days and they put me on this pill!. It worked!Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is weird I ran across this question because I just got off of Yaz!. I love what it did for me for the month I took it!. But after I started the second week I had to go to the doctor because it was hindering my breathing!. I also did the same thing as you and started my period on the pink pills!. I was so frustrated!. I tried (before Yaz) Ortho Lo!. And hated it!. My doctor made me quit birthcontrol all together and said some women just cannot take them because their bodies cannot handle it and it effects them differently!. I suggest seeing your doctor!. Maybe birthcontrol isn't for you!. Which I wouldn't wish that on any woman because it sucks majorly! Hope this helps and I feel your pain!Www@Answer-Health@Com
