Why does a women have her period again if you stop taking Yaz birth control just after 3 days?

Q: I had to stop taking Yaz just after three days of starting birth control pill Yaz because it was effecting me so negatively and so extreme I couldn’t handle it any longer. after I stopped the third day the next day I had severe menstral crapping and clotty like bleeding and hasn’t stop for two days now! I have never bled like this in my life for a regular period! Plus I just had my period a week ago and now I have this horrible heavy bleeding. Why is this happening from taking the pill for just three day then stopping? Maybe it was this certain type of BC. those 3 days of taking Yaz was awefull! iIt made me feel extremely tired and I felt very depresssed. I felt almost like I was dying and didn’t know what was going on. Ever since I stopped taking it I felt like my normal self again which I’m so releived but I’,m afraid I messed my body up since I’m having this horrible bleeding off of my regular period schedule. Anyone have info about this issue.

A: Its a very tricky subject but my “opinion” is that the pill usually sends hormones thru the body, which thickens the lining of ur uterus or tricks the body into thinking its already pregnant. This is why you experience tender breast, breakouts, change in appetite, weight gain or loss. Anyway once you stop taking the hormones the lining of ur uterus begins to thin so you get ur period, or the body realizes that you or not pregnant so you begin to ovulate again and get ur period. So to sum it up…The pill stops ovulation once you stop the pill you begin to ovulate again and you get ur period. Take Care
