question about yasmin .. kinda graphic
| Sun, 07-11-2004 - 11:16pm |
I started my 2nd pack of Yasmin on Friday .. my period started on Wednesday and it is still going! It's a little heavier than normal, IMO. Sorry to be so graphic here, but when I took the last tampon out, there was a small clot of blood on it ... maybe size of pencil head eraser. I've never had this before being on the pill, so what is/was it? While I was on the first pack of Yasmin, I was on a double dose of Zithromax. I also skipped my period to go straight from Mircette to Yasmin.

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about! You started your period on Wednesday and today is Sunday so that's only 5 days; many women have periods much longer than that, so dont worry. As well, it isn't just blood that you shed during your period. You are shedding the lining of your uterus during that time, so dont worry about seeing a pencil-eraser-shaped clot. Generally, clots are only something to worry about when you can actually FEEL yourself passing them.

Yes, if you skipped a period then this one should be heavier and may be the reason for the clots. Yasmin does have a different progestin but I don't think we have had had members post about having clots on it.
Good luck,
