Personally, when I was on Yasmin or Yaz, my periods were super light, short, and painless. But now on Qlair, I've been dealing with long-ass periods for four months now, sometimes lasting until the fifth pill of a new pack.🙄
It's all different for everyone; you just have to adjust. Though, I'm not entirely sure I follow your exact situation.
You mentioned getting your period by the seventh pill of the first pack, which isn't weird at all.
But now you're on day seven of the second pack and haven't had the period you were supposed to get after finishing the first pack?
If that's the case, don't freak out. Give it another month, maybe two, and things should level out. If two months pass and it's still a mess, call your OB-GYN and ask for a different prescription because these clearly aren't working for you.
Just stay consistent with taking them and stop stressing. 😉
You hit the nail right on the head—you understood my dilemma perfectly.
I ended up holding off on calling my doctor—mostly because I’d been reading online that most women deal with brown spotting throughout the month, yet I haven't seen anyone else mention actually missing their period entirely... But honestly? Looking at myself, nothing seems to be changing—no curves developing, no bloating—so I’m not exactly spiraling into a panic just yet.
Thanks for the response! — truly appreciated.
