Stopped BC Pills for First Time Help!

Hello,

I stopped yasmin because I was having some bad affects to it. I finally decided to stop because it was getting bad, I had barely started my 2nd pack and was on about my 4th pill. This was this past Saturday...I am now bleeding lightly, but am concerned because I think and correct me if I am wrong... I think it's because my body is confused and thinks it's on the white pills right? I have an appointment with my gyno tomorrow, but I'm just so tired of all this. I have never gone through something like this before, until I started Yasmin. It has just taken a toll on me physically and emotionally with my boyfriend. He completely understands, but I can't help but be upset that we can't be intimate because my hormones are all whacked, and my body isn't itself yet. Thanks for your help!

The same thing happened to me. I stopped 5 pills into my third pack and while I wasn't surprised I started bleeding I was very surprised it lasted as long as a full blown period (7 days for me).

Without the hormones to support the lining of your uterus, it's going to degrade and you'll have some bleeding. It's extremely normal when you stop the pill mid-pack, even if you've only had a few pills! Try not to worry... You can still go to the gyn even if you're bleeding, another exam shouldn't be necessary. You may not have the same reaction to another type of pill, if you're willing to try another.

Good luck! I'm sure everything is going to be fine!
