What may be happening is that the hormones in Yasmin are lightening and shortening your pill-periods, which are actually withdrawal bleeds. Having periods lighten after a few months on a pill is quite common and is a function of how your body chemistry deals with the hormones. I don't think you have anything to worry about but if you're concerned you might want to ask your doctor about it. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
