Hello,
Ive been on Yaz birth controll since april 27, 2008 (few weeks ago)..this would be my 3rd week on this pill.. everything is going well with this pill-the only major side effect that i have been getting is some bleeding even after i finished my period which was two weeks ago.. the bleeding is not major or stains like regular menstruations- actually the bleeding occurs more and tends to come out more when my husband and I are intametly together..
In other words, when my husband inserts himself in me thats when the bleeding tends to be more..it aint painful or anything and I did read outside of the box of Yaz and one of the side effects of Yaz was bleeding spots between periods.. I aint sure though if this is normal-i cant enjoy very well being with my husband for this reason-will it ever go away..anyone passing through this same situation??

Hi!
I am going through the exact same thing (exactly!) So I'm thinking it has to do with the pills. I started using them to regulate my period back in March '08 but it definitely has been crazy. I have bleeding in between periods and when my husband and I are intimate I start bleeding again. I have never had this happen and I've been married for 12 1/2 years. My doctor has done some tests and a sono to see if there was something wrong but everything is coming back normal. I am going to start a new pill the generic for orthotricyclin lo (I don't know how to spell that) next month and I'm hoping this will make things better. I was scared but hearing that you are going through the same thing I truly believe it's the pill. I hope this helps it sure has helped me. Thanks

thank you for responding..ive been actually waiting for someone to reply to this..
you said that you have been taking yaz since march has it been lighter the bleeding or still the same?? i read on the box that this could happen for at least 3 months and then tends to be getting lighter by each day.. this pill has alot of good things but what totally kills it is this bleeding thing.. my husband and i are waiting till this sideeffect goes away and we havent been that much intimately 2gether and thats what bothers me cause their are nights when i do want to be with him but because of the bleeding spots and stuff i cant..
i have also noticed that after i take a shower it doesnt come out only a few hours later.. its weird.. i just hope it ends very soon - in a way its like having your period EVERYDAY
sometimes you even feel the cramps and my mood swings have been going on and off like crazy..some days i feel really upset and cranky, while other days happy, or even depressed.. but mainly these pills have been getting me extremely cranky and iam getting it alot with my husband for any dumb thing..
these side effects are messed up- i just hope that my body does the change that it needs to so i can go back to my regular self..

My bleeding did get lighter last month but it seems that this month is worse in fact I still have one more week of the regular pills and after being intimate with my husband I started bleeding quite a bit and it seems that my period is wanting to start. I'm bleeding heavier than I had been. I also have experienced the mood swings depression, crankiness and I've even had hot flashes. I can't hardly wear my light colored clothes because I don't know when I'm going to bleed and perhaps stain my clothes. It's awful!
I have used several birth control pills over the years and none of them have done this. I really am ready to switch pills, hopefully the new ones will work better.

I had a baby in march 2008 and was put on the depo shot 3 days after my daughter was born.. After all the side affects I had on that I was put on yaz. I have been on yaz for 2mths now and I still have been bleeding off an on and reall heavy at times and after my husband an i have intercourse usually by the time I wake up in the morning I have started again and thats when its heavy. The bleeding or spotting will lasts for 2wks or more before it stops and could stop for 1wk or 1 day, I never know when I will bleed again. THis had been going on for 7 1/2 months now!!! Not only that but I also have depression, vision changes like im looking in a tunnel or my eyes are crossing, tiredness so tired my husband has had to stay home from work because I will not wake up, and also nites I cant even sleep, just restless, cold sores and I never got them in my life now i cant get rid of them, really dry skin, moodiness, irritated with everybody just plain crabby, will argue with my husbandat the drop of the hat, itching down below like crazy, brain fogginess just plain being duh, tingling in arms and legs and loss of apetite, heart pumping widely or slowing right down, loss of breathe when talking or going from sitting to standing feeling of gasping for air like I have someone sitting on my chest, the dizziness/light headedness its all so crazy. I am only taking it so I dont get pregnant again and its causing more harm then good. Its changing my life. Theres days where I cant take care of my daughter or myself. I had similiar symptoms on the depo shot but within a week of stoping the shot i was fine until i took yaz. I have been all over the net looking up symptoms and now im really leaning to the fact that its yaz.. So hope this helps for anyone else that may have any concerns about yaz..

i have the same things happening to me. ive been on yaz since june and it seems like all i do is bleed. i just started college and its not fun having to deal with this and school. when i go in next i am going to talk to my doctor about it
