Probably a dumb question, but my gyn's office had me speak to a nurse that really didn't clear up my questions.
When this cyst was diagnosed, they put me on Yasmin to see if it shrunk the original cyst and to keep others from forming. The Yasmin made me completely wacky. I'm normally pretty laid back, and I would either start crying or screaming for absolutely no reason. So I asked about switching to something different since it was obvious that the Yasmin and me did not get along. So gyn gave me Seasonale (I liked the idea of only 4 cycles a year since my cyst hurt more during a cycle than any other time...and I'm not nearly as nuts on it). The packet of info says that around the time you would normally start taking placebo pills with a regular BC pack, you can have some spotting, light bleeding, etc. It doesn't say how long it can last, though. Before the cyst I was always regular, every 28-29 days like clockwork and could map the blasted cycle from day one (normal cycle was 5-6 days). But on this stuff I'm still having light bleeding or the icky brown stuff, and it's been 10 days. On the Yasmin, once I started taking the pills again, if I was still on a cycle, it would stop.
I'm still taking the pills at 11pm every night, but this persists. Does anyone know about these pills and if this is something that normally occurs? Or is this a side effect of the cyst?
Any advice would be more than welcome.
