Bleeding when I stop taking my contraceptive?

I am on the pill and I have bleeding during the "break". Can I get pregnant while having these "periods" on the pill? The pill I am taking is Yaz.

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, bleeding is possible during the discontinuation period. If you haven't missed any pills along the way, the chances of getting pregnant are practically zero.

I hope this helps, and don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
