Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hey ladies! I’m new here and haven't had a chance to catch up on all the posts yet, so I’m not sure if anyone else has dealt with this, but I would honestly love any advice you can throw my way! 🙂
So, I have PCOS and I've been on Yasmin for about four or five years now. Last year, I was dealing with spotting for an entire year, which usually goes fine with the pill, right? Everything was totally chill until last month when I started having these breakthrough bleeds—which is totally normal, I guess??
But get this: this month, specifically on day 14 of my pill cycle, I ended up getting my actual period... like, before the placebo week even started! What am I supposed to do now?? Should I just power through and finish the whole pack, or should I stop now and just let the period happen?? I seriously don't think I'll be bleeding again during the break. I tried calling my OBGYN, but she's out on vacation, and honestly, I really, really don't feel like hunting down a new doctor right this second... ugh, help me out!
Help, thanks!
