Any Idea as to why I'm still bleeding?

[mzmiranda]

I have been on Yaz bc pills for 4 months now and everything in the beginning was great. They helped regulate my periods, made them so much easier, shorter and lighter. That is until this month! I started my period April 11th, well it was pinkish. By monday morning it came down. Which was fine, regular period. Only one problem...IM STILL BLEEDING!! It has been 12 days! The first few days it was normal, and I only last 3/4 days. But then I kept bleeding. After the 5th day, I started having cramps and passing clots, which I hadnt done in awhile. I called the doc and they told me to take a pregnancy test. If it was positive to go in, if it was negative to triple my pills for the next 3 days, double sat & sun an regular on monday! Im worried and dont understand why or whats happening and Im nervous to take so many pills. It stopped for one day but its starting again.
ANY HELP PLEASE!!????

A friend of mine, age 28, had a stroke while using YAZ. I'd be real careful.

Wow I think that you need to call your doctor again and tell them their route of medication worked for a day and then didn't work and you started bleeding again. This doesn't sound normal by any means and I think it definitely requires some attention from your doctor. I have not heard anything good really about YAZ except that it can help regulate your periods. I hope that you get your answers!
