Hello,

 

I stopped yasmin about 7 weeks ago. I'm on a low dose of spiro 50 mg. Immediately after stoppoing Yasmin I got my period. Then 29 days later I got my second period. It stopped after 7 days. Was fine for 5 days then i got another period - more like spotting.

 

Is this normal after stopping yasmin? Or could it be the low dose spiro?

It's the spiro. It lists menstrual irregularities as a side effect and it happens to many girls on spiro

Hi - it could also be from stopping the yasmin - spotting can happen has your body readjusts to its normal cycle again (or it could be a combination of the spiro and stopping the yasmin). If it continues for too long or you experience cramping or a lot of blood you should call your OB/GYN. Spotting in between periods is a very common thing for women to experience whether on BCP or not, so it's really not anything to worry about in and of itself. Just keep an eye on it!
