A member asked:
I take yaz for 3yrs. this month for the 1st time i'm bleeding for 10 days, the last 5 of which the discharge is light, but thick&brown. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
