Hi all!
I've been on Yaz for 5 months now and have not had a problem whatsoever. This month however, I've had cramps and am experiencing a little bit of pink and brown mucousy spotting. Not a lot, but its been going on for the past 4 days.
I am having unprotected sex with my boyfriend but I have been taking my pill the same time everyday except for one day the first week (I took it 4 hours late).
The only other changes this month was that I started excercising a lot.
Could this have an effect on the spotting?
if not, what do you think is going on?
Thanks a lot!

Changes in diet or activity level can definitely affect a woman's cycle! Light brown/pink spotting around the time your period is due or a couple days before can be a symptom of pregnancy - implantation bleeding. implantation bleeding doesn't occur in all women. However, from what you said, it seems unlikely that pregnancy is the issue - as b.c pills are very effective when taken correctly. I would most likely attribute the spotting to your excercising, but if your period is late, you can take a home pregnancy test. Also, if more concerning symptoms appear I would suggest making a doctor appt. Best of luck!
Hi I have been on contraceptive pills for 20 years as I went on them due to painful cramps etc. However over the past 2 years I have had to change medication more than once and sometimes double up on pills to avoid breakthrough bleeding which got heavier and more embarassing as my partner and I had sex. Last month I came off Diane 35 and Yasmin which I was combining . My concern is that I have had a little spotting this week and again once during sex---- nothing major but noticeable!Is this totally due to my abuse of the pills or should I see a gynaecologist , and f so, when.
