Period determined to come early

I've been on Yaz for almost two months. Things are mostly great...I haven't had a lot of side effects. However, my body seems somewhat determined to stay on its old 26-day cycle. I'm not due to start taking placebos until Wednesday, but I'm already starting to spot and be crampy. Is this normal for my old cycle to be operating sort of in the background? Also, could I just skip Tuesday's active pill and go ahead and start the 4 placebos? (My body seems to really want me to!) I'd like to move my period up a couple of days eventually, but I was going to wait for at least 3 cycles before monkeying around with things. Just wondering what y'all thought.

Thanks for any and all advice! These boards have been really helpful to me as I've worked out my birth control issues!

Yeah..sounds normal to me...Sometimes it can take a few FULL monthly cycles for your body to adjust to the "new hormones" in the birth control pills....((HUGS)) good luck....
