I have been taking the contraceptive pill "Yaz" since July 2019. I take it continuously, 3 packs in a row, then I stop. Today, I am on my 1st pack and 7th day, and I have started to have menstrual bleeding. Is this normal?

It is normal to experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting when taking the contraceptive pill continuously. This can be caused by various factors such as stress. It is recommended to continue taking the pill as usual, as the bleeding usually stops within a week. As long as you have not missed any doses, your protection should still be effective.
