Q: is it normal to still have mid pack spotting on yaz birth control after being on it for three years?

: Such "breakthrough bleeding" can occur unpredictably and at any time, but missing or being late with a pill or taking other medications (particularly antibiotics) can be a trigger. Duration of use is not a factor after the first few months.
