Hi! I have a question, is it withdrawal bleeding when I’m having bright red/crimson red bleeding, its flow is light, and I have blood clots? I wore a pad but it did not soak my pads full. Is it withdrawal bleeding or is it my period? When I had it my period was not due for 9/10 days. I took Yuzpe Method on December 17 and had this bleeding on December 25

Hi cyprns,

Welcome to the boards!

What you've described do sound like a side effect of the yuzpe method, but given the timing, there is also a chance that it could be a period. Have you noticed any symptoms that usually come with your period (like cramps, irritability, breast tenderness, etc)?

Hi i just want to ask regarding my concern.
On december 4 we had an unprotected sex but i used yuzpe method immediately and at dec. 12 -16 i bleed like ithought i got my period.

On december 19 we had unprotected sex again and also i took yupze method again and after 7 days @december 26 (yesterday) i bleed like period again and have blood clots and now its only small amount like spotting like. Whats that mean ? Is it beacuse of the pills i took ?

Hi, yes. I did experience cramping but my period usually lasts for 3-5 days and this bleeding has stopped or weakened now which is December 27, 2 days after I initially had this bleeding.

The differences here are most likely because you took the BC pills, but ultimately we can’t say for sure.

What we can help you with, though, is no longer having unprotected sex when you clearly don’t want a pregnancy. Would you like help negotiating condom use with your partner?
