abnormal bleeding?
| Wed, 06-02-2004 - 4:37pm |
i have been on bcp (yasmin) for over a year now with no problems. i am currently on placebo week. usually, i get my period on the tuesday of that week. however, this week i started getting faint spotting on monday, and on tuesday and today, have been experiencing heavy bright red bleeding. it is like a period in heaviness, but bleeding is bright red and not darker-brownish (sorry if tmi!) like usual. is this normal? bf and i had sex on monday (we usually don't have sex so close to the beginning of my period) - could this affect my period?
tia for any help!!

If it were me, I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe I've been using bc too long, but there are a number of things that can slightly change how the hormones are metabolized from one day to the next (not a big deal most of the time), and maybe that's what's going on. I tend to not get worked up about bc stuff. ;)
Good luck!
