Is Bleeding Normal After Restarting Yaz Medication?
Question: I took yaz for nine years and then came off to have a baby. I had the baby finished breastfeeding and went back on yaz. The w first month was fine.. the second month of pill halfway through the pack I started bleeding. I have been bleeding for 14 days. Is this normal? Should I stop it? Start a new pack?
Brief Answer:
Stop the pack
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to have this type of erratic bleeding patterns immediately after delivery.
Stop the pill pack and let the bleeding come in full flow and then start a new pack after 3 days of good flow.
See the bleeding pattern and in case this recurs in this cycle also then you might need to change the formulation of pill pack.
All the best
