I am due to start my period tomorrow, but I just had an entire week of my “fake period.” My fake period is heavy enough to have to wear at least pantiliners. It is very thick (like, goopy) and very dark.

This happened regularly right when I started the pill two years ago. Sometimes I’ll spot for a couple days before I get my period, but never for an entire week. This is the first time it’s been this bad in a while.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas? Should I switch pills?

I’m on Yasmin, if that helps. Sorry for all the gross details!
