Long Period
Hi! I am on YAZ birth control, but haven't had sex for 7 weeks since me and my ex broke up. So I missed three days in a row of my pill on the third week, and I read you are supposed to restart a whole new pack if you miss that many on that week. But between that time I got my period, so I started taking a new pack like the instructions said. The weird thing is, is that I'm still on my period and today is day 9. My periods are usually short, probably 4 days. Is it long just because I missed some pills, or is something wrong with me? I'm 23 years old and usually have very regular, short periods. Thanks!!
i had to start on YAZ because my other birth control was to expensive....well i skipped a few days in between the switch, and i had my period for 14 days. it took about 2 or 3 months before i was completly regular again. my doctor said it was normal because i missed a few pills. i think you are okay. if it doesnt stop soon though, you should probably go to your doctor
