My gynecologist was not willing to answer me. And it will be a month before I get to see a new doctor. My problem is that after a 3-month break, I started taking Yasminelle tablets again (I have been taking them for about 3 years), but I took a 3-month break because I did not need any protection. I have always responded very well to them. This time, I took the tablets after the break without any bleeding (not on the first day of bleeding, because there was no bleeding, only during slight spotting). For the first 6-7 days everything was fine, but after the 7th day brown spotting and menstrual pain appeared. On the other hand, on day 15-16 the bleeding worsened (as with normal menstruation, but there were also clots in addition to normal, liquid blood). Besides, I feel good. I managed to call my doctor, who told me that on "my own responsibility" I could take a double dose of the first packet for the last 5 days (i.e. 2 tablets in one day), do not take the 7-day break and then shorten the second packet by these "picked up" pills. Could the doctor advise me what to do in this situation? Is it normal? Am I safe and if not, when will I be?
You should first perform an ultrasound examination and exclude the presence of changes in the reproductive organ. If the examination does not reveal any pathologies, please continue taking the tablets and after seven days of the new packaging you should be secured.
