On yaz since april 2017. always had normal period from the 3rd white pill. the last two periods are very light and sometimes brown or red.worried?

No: Periods are artificial on the birth control, tend to get lighter over time, and sometimes disappear entirely. This is not a problem and does not mean that anything is collecting and not coming out. Your periods will return normally when you stop the pill.
