Already started period, can yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) stop it?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

NO: Once a period starts it is the end of a cycle, so no you cannot stop it after it started. You can use birth control to plan your periods, or avoid a period by not taking the 7 days of placebo pills in the last row and starting a new pack.
