I have a Pill question lol....help......

[Gymgurl]

Okay I have been on Yasmin for a year and 1/2 I think.....Anyway never had any problems with it at all. Last month I was 3 days later then normal and this month I started spoting before my last week has ended. I have 3 days left of my cycle. For the last year I have gotten my period on the tueday after I stop taking the actives....any reason why this is changing....nothing new except I was sick and on antibotics last month but not this one......

 

[Gymgurl]

Damn no one??? lol

If your cycle is interrupted one month, it may take several months to stabilize. I would wait it out for another month or two and see if things normalize. If not, it might be worth talking to your GYN. As you get older, your hormone levels change so you might have to change your BCP.

 

[buffalogal]

I agree with DG. I've been on five different sets of
BCPs and have to change all of them around the two year
mark because they stop working properly. I'd give it
another month or two to see if that continues, then
talk to you OB/GYN.

On a side note, antibiotics do affect birth control
medication. This may also be what is happening.
Just a thought...

Thanks you guys.....have a call into the Gyno....but I just wondered why after working so well for a yr....

Sounds familiar GG. I imagine your OB/GYN will want to try another pill for you, but it's definitely something you should check into.

Mine always worked for a year or two, then I'd be off by a couple of days each month. Early, late, spotting. My OB/GYN says it is a common occurence. Good luck either way. It's definitely a pain in the a$$ when it comes and goes at will.

 

[Tomer]

have you been good at taking them or not missing any..

I'm on yasmin too and one month a couple of days i forgot and didn't take them until the evening that day instead of the morning... and I got a little spotting.

one time i got it 3 days late like you... but that was only when i'd been careless with the timing..

other than that yasmin has been great... I have had the problems you mentioned with alesse though... thats why I switched to yasmin

 

[Sassy69]

I'd probably go another month just to see if it's a reaction to the anti-biotics or it is actually an ongoing issue. Same comment w/ the training as well, but the anti-biotics are where I would start first.

 

[Gymgurl]

Still a mess this month started 4 days earlier and then came back on the second day of taking my pills......Im going to just wait...I have a bladder infection and some funk on my leg and back on antibotics

How are they messed up? Getting them for to long to short to often not on time?

 

[Gymgurl]

they were lasting 10 days a month and super super heavy....so the hormone makes is much less and no cramps....but now I m just getting it all the time again even on the pill

 

[dognutz]

Wife on same pill and some months she gets little to zero period and others some spotting and others a week of real cramps period etc. Alot depends on her training. When she is logging many miles training for a race she gets almost nothing, then when she backs off it gets heavier. Also depends on her special super vitamins she is cycling at the time.

 

[Gymgurl]

My miles have started to increase but my cylce is getting worse....but I was sick for 8 weeks that is when it started

 

[Roonytunes]

Despite this thread, I'm making the switch over to Yaz as of tomorrow. It is from the same makers of Yasmin, but with a lower level of estrogen. I'll report back on my experiences which hopefully won't be like yours, GG.

I've been on Alesse with absolutely no problems for years, but the stupid manufacturer is no longer making this available for easy distribution. I also talked to my ObGyn about my lack of periods, and she told me not to worry. Since I still spot, that counts as a period and in her opinion, it's okay to not get a period for up to two years. I will admit I'm nervous abt new side effects, but my ObGyn thinks dropping the prostegen that Alesse had will actually be good for my system. <fingers crossed>
