Yaz-Birth-Control
Can spotting after sex be related to my Yaz birth control pill?
I went to the gyno in June, and everything checked out fine. Later that month, I started taking the Yaz birth control pill. Pretty much since I started, I have noticed light spotting after sex. It's a light brown/pinkish color, and it really only comes out when I go to the bathroom. It stops within a few hours. I haven't experienced any spotting other than after sex. Has anyone else experienced this with Yaz or other birth control pills, or does anyone know if this is cause for concern?

- Breakthrough bleeding is definitely one of Yaz (and other b/c pills) side effects: What are the possible side effects of Yaz? Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
