What could this mean???

I was on Nuvaring for a little over a year and other BCs for 5 years before that. I decided to take a break from BC all together a few months ago and just stopped taking the Nuvaring in February. I had been getting my period pretty reguarly for the last couple months. I decided to go back on BC and decided to try YAZ, which says to start taking it on the first day of your period. I had been spotting on and off for about a week before I was prescribed YAZ, which isn't very uncommon to happen right before my period. Last Tuesday, I thought I was starting my period, so I took the first pill. It turns out it was just heavier spotting I guess and I have still been just spotting for the last week. I have still been taking the BC every day and was just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening and why my period hasn't started yet. I don't really think there could be a possibility that I am pregnant, b/c everytime my boyfriend and I have had sex, it has been protected. I am really hoping I am not, and if anyone could give me some advice as to what you think is going on and what I should do, please let me know!

From what it sounds like it sounds like your body's trying to get back into some what of a "normal rhythm" after being off birth control.....sounds like your body's trying to "catch up"....if that makes sense...sometimes after "restarting" birth control again it takes a few full cycles for the body to get used to the hormones again....good luck....
