If spotting occurs for two weeks should I stop taking the birth control or will the spotting stop?

When you start birth control it is not unlikely to have spotting
or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that can last up to
3 months or longer. You should not stop taking your birth control
because you will actually mess up your cycle and when you will have
your period. You will also experience more spotting or breakthrough
bleeding if you stop now. The spotting will go away,however, you
should visit your physician to consider changing the dosage of
birth control. Spotting and breakthrough bleeding usually stops
when switched to a higher dosage of birth control.

If you have already started spotting should you continue finishing your pack of birth control?

Yes you should continue your pack of pills even though
you are spotting. You should never discontinue taking your birth
control unless advised by your physician. If you stop taking your
birth control you will lower the effectiveness of the birth control
drastically and you will increase your chances of becoming
pregnant. Spotting is a side effect caused by birth control.
Spotting typically occurs when you are either starting birth
control for the first time( spotting may last up to 3 months),
spotting can occur if you do not take your birth control everyday
at the same time, and it can occur if you use a certain medication,
such as antibiotics.

Can the birth control pill Yaz cause odd periods?

It takes the body about three months to regulate itself to the
hormones of birth control pills. So if you are within the first
three months, you are most likely going to experience wonky
bleeding and spotting. However, after the three months are over,
your withdrawal bleeds (because you do not have periods while on
hormonal birth control- you have chemically induced withdrawal
bleeds) should even out to the 4 day placebo pills in Yaz.

Why have i had non stop bleeding 3 months?

You should be seeing a gynaecologist before you become anemic!!
I agree....Any abnormal bleeding you should be concerned about,
hard to say what may cause it. If you are on birth control, the 1st
3 months its normal to have SPOTTING...or if you are pregnant, 1st
trimester bleeding occurs sometimes but is def. unhealthy so either
way it get that checked out...A.S.A.P
