Hey im 18/f. Yesterday i had strange cramps/bloating and felt like i was going to start my period but im not due to start for another 2 weeks about. I went to the bathroom and sure enough i did. I was only on it for a couple hours. Then all of a sudden it stopped? Im on YAZ and i havent missed a pill and this has never happened to me before. I asked a few of my friends and they said it could be implantation blood but im not sure. Any advice?
Thanks i rate :)

Different medications have varying amounts of hormones and can affect your body in different ways. Usually your OB/GYN works closely with you to find a medication that works for you with as few negative side effects as possible. If you're having problems with your birth control pills, you should contact your OB/GYN as soon as possible so they can help solve the problem.
On the other hand, menstrual cycles can be relatively irregular. Your period might come early or late depending on things such as stress level, food intake, and exercise. In fact, if you're living with other girls, your cycles will start to synchronize. In essense, this irregular bleeding might not be related to your birth control.
If you're worried about implantation bleeding, you can go to your local pharmacy and get a home pregnancy test. Implantation bleeding typically occurs 6-12 days after ovulation.
Above all else, if the problem persists, you should always contact your OB/GYN for help. You don't want to let a small problem get bigger. Hopefully the bleeding isn't serious!
