Is mid-cycle bleeding in the first month of Yasminelle a reason to switch to Yasmin?
Good afternoon! I take the first month When taking jasminella, bleeding and breakthrough mild bleeding began in the middle of the cycle (12-15 days). Perhaps the drug is not effective for me? I have external uterine fibroids, slightly low hemoglobin. Maybe it's better to switch to Yasmin, for example? If so, is it possible to switch immediately in the first cycle before the end of taking the pills? Thank you in advance

Mid-cycle bleeding (12-15 days) in the first cycle of hormonal contraception does not automatically mean that the medication needs to be changed. Mid-cycle bleeding may be a normal symptom of adaptation to a new drug. Many women experience mid-cycle bleeding in the first few months of using contraception, especially if they have not used hormonal contraception before. In the case of abnormal bleeding that lasts a long time, is severe or occurs in subsequent cycles, you should consult your doctor.
It is also not recommended to change the drug immediately, especially during the digestion of the cycle, as this can lead to hormonal changes and mid-cycle bleeding.
If you have concerns about the effectiveness of your current medication, it is advisable to consult a specialist as soon as possible. In the case of uterine fibroids and low haemoglobin levels, it is also important to monitor these conditions while using contraceptives. It is always best to get a doctor's opinion before making a change to your treatment. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
