A member asked:
Im the been taking yasmin for 10 days for my spotting between periods. i still have spotting which seems a bit odd because it stopped two days and came back and now cramping. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spotting on bcp's ?: Low dose oral contraceptives need to be taken punctually (within the same hour that the prior day's active pill was taken), or "spotting" can occur due to hormone withdrawal. Stop the pill now, wait five days, and start another (new) pack, but be careful to take them as described. There are other causes of light bleeding (polyps, fibroids, etc.) which are independent of oral bcp control.
