Can Changing Birth Control Pill Cause Bleeding Post Periods?
Hello. Before i am taking marvelon 21 then my last tablet i have taken is tuesday and i have period on sunday then i decided to change my pill to yasmin i take the monday tablet of yasmin its the 2nd day of my period then my period ended on thursday and now its sunday only 3days after my last period i have started again while still taking the 1st week of yasmin.why?
That is because of the irregularity in the pills and sudden changing from one pill to the other. Usually a gap is recommended, but the irregularity you are experiencing is clearly either a side effect of the pills, sudden change from one pill to the other; or both.
Best wishes
