Had discontinued yaz, started again. No period, pregnancy test negative. What is it?
Patient: Hi I have been taking yaz for 6 months. After the 6th month I stopped for one month and continued taking yaz on the 8th month. I have been spottin for almost a month now and have not yet gotten my period as normal, it should occur on the 2nd white pill of the Yaz conticeptive. I have taken a pregnancy test and it is negative. Any explanations for this? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for the query. After stoppage of the pill it will take sometime for regularization of the periods. As you again started pills after one month, it might have led to some hormonal imbalance leading to inter-menstrual spotting. If you had any unprotected intercourse during the pill free period there is possibility of pregnancy. So you once go for blood test for pregnancy.  If the test comes negative, you continue with Yaz, the spotting can subside soon. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429 Take care.
