Q: hello, i am taking yaz birth control pills and i have brown spotting for more than 6 days now, can i take duphaston meanwhile and if yes? for how long?

: "Yaz" is a low dose oral bcp, and breakthrough bleeding ("spotting") is common if the active pills are not taken punctually. Stop the bcp's, wait five days and start a new pack, making sure to take them within the hour of taking the prior day's active pill. Duphaston is progesterone, and is unnecessary for this problem.
