Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I will try to figure out why you are suddenly having an irregular period.
You mentioned that you have been using Yasmin for a couple of years. Have you ever experienced this problem before?
Anonymous, are you taking other medications?
Some medications may interact with Yasmin, decreased its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, and cause breakthrough bleeding.
Here is the list:
Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole) or HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir)
Aprepitant, barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), bosentan, carbamazepine, felbamate, griseofulvin, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), modafinil, nevirapine, penicillins (eg, ampicillin), phenylbutazone, rifampin, St. John's wort, tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline), topiramate, or troglitazone
If you are not taking any of the above mentioned medications and you have never experienced bleeding or spotting between periods before, then you need to talk with your doctor.
Regards, Maryann
