My dermatologist put me on Yaz a little less than 2 weeks ago for acne. I've been bleeding ever since! I'm really getting worried about it and have been debating calling my gyn to see what the deal is. Has anyone else bled like crazy with Yaz? How long did it take to stop? My flow is probably medium and bright red...with no signs of stopping at the moment. I also have had a horrible headache for about 3 days, can't sleep, have lower back pain, and feel extremely nauseated. This pill is horrible!

I had the same thing when I first started this pill.. I had my period for about 2-3 weeks on and off.. Then after the first month and became regulated.I originally had a period of about 6 days, but then after I started this new one.. my flow was very heavy. I also felt nauseated with this pill, but I don't know if its the pill that causes this. I originally started out with the low dose yasmin.. and that worked better for me I thought than this new yaz one...

I've been on Yaz for three and a half weeks, and on my period the entire time. I called my doc and she switched me to Lo-estrin, which apparently has lower amounts of estrogen, which may be what's causing all this crappy stuff to happen. Hope this helps! You definately aren't alone.
