Severe Bleeding Before Periods. Due To Yeast Infection?
I have just recently received a yeast infection from my boyfriend we assumed from trying dryer than normal intercourse (bad idea)!! Well, today I was cleaning up in the bathroom and I started bleeding(heavily). While using Ti-Sprintec since the beginning of February, I was always regular. I always started two days into my placebo and it lasted till the first day of my new pack. I am now 5 days early and haven't started the placebo yet. Would it be from the yeast infection why I started bleeding early?

Hello
Thanks for your query.
I do not think the yeast infection could cause a varying period.
It is normal while on birth control to sometimes have an erratic bleeding pattern.
stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, hypothyroidism etc could also cause this.
If this does not persist or recur, Please do not worry about it.
It is best to continue taking the pills as usual.
take care.
