no period yet while taking yaz birth control pills.

Guest · Guest

i jus started birth control. so this is my first time ever taking yaz. i have one more pink pill left and then the whites start. I usually have my period at the beginning of the month but havent had it yet. I have no symptoms either.
My boobs did grow since taking bc and thats about it. I never felt nauseous or any of the other side effects.
is this normal? will i have my period soon or could i possibly not have it this month?
that would be great. i havent had sex since my last period or since starting yaz so i know i am not pregnant.

I've been taking Yaz now for almost a year. Its helped ALOT with the moods. But I think I only had a period on it for the first 3 months. So, basically I haven't had a period at all in about nine months--nothing. I decided once to stop taking it, and I was tired, miserable, and irritable, and nasty to everyone for about a month until I went back on. So I'm happy with it. A little concerned, but from what I've read I can't find anything very alarming about not getting my period so I guess I should just enjoy it[/i]

I have been on Yaz now for almost one year. I take it for 3 months without taking the white pills...so in a nutshell I only have 4 periods per year. But when I get close to the 3 month marker I start having a dark brown discjarge before bleeding. This month I did that and did not have a period to follow. I did have some cramps though. I guess I will go ahead and start my new pack of pills tomorrow and will consult my gynecologist in a couple of weeks at my appointment. I will let you all know how it turns out. I do want to know if anyone else has experienced that same discharge though.

I've been on Yaz for about 8 months. At first I had my period during my pink pills - right after the four plecebos. I was thinking what you (the heatlh care professional said) that it takes my utereous time to get the signal to shed the lining. But now, I am not getting my period at all. This is my third month, and I should have it right now.

I was at the gynocologist for an annual, and she said she would check into it more because she hadn't heard anything. (That is why I'm researching this today.) But she said there is no concern if my body doesn't build up the lining of blood. However, if my body is building up a lining but not shedding it, that could be a problem. I asked how one knows if there is a build-up and she told me I would have to get off. I LOVE Yaz. I was on Yasmine before because of my heavy, painful, irregular, and emotional periods. Yasime, took away the heaviness and the irregularity, but Yaz takes away everything.... including my period, it seems.

I'm expecting a call today or tomorrow from the Gyno. I'll keep you all posted. And Health Professional, if you have any further ideas, please respond. I'd like to hear them.

Hi,

I heard from my gynocologist today. She was looking into my not having a period on Yaz for 3 months after being on it for 8. She explained that it is not a problem so long as the uteran wall is not continuing to build up. If the wall continues to build up, and I don't bleed, it can possibly lead to cancer. She is referring me to get an ultra sound. She says that is the way we can see if there is a build-up or not. If the wall is not built up, I can continue taking this wonderful birth control. If not, looks like I'll have to get off and go back to 9-day heavy, painful, bloating, emotional periods. I hope not, but I'll keep you posted.

Just don't ignore this guys. No period may not be okay. I'm just happy to find out that I'm not the only one experiencing this on Yaz.

I have been taking Yaz for about 5 months also. With past birth controls I would miss pills often or even skip my period on purpose, so my period has been a little messed up since. My doctor suggested Yaz to me but when I started taking it I just stopped having a period. If I did have any bleeding it was very light and would only occur like once a day. Last month I got my "period" an entire week before I was supposed to (with the white pills) but only bleed a regular amount for about a day and the rest was light spotting until my pack was over and the month before that I completely missed it. This month I missed it again with no spotting or light bleeding whatsoever. However, I am still getting cramps! Normally my cramps are pretty bad to begin with, and at first they were a little better on this pill, but when I miss an entire period they are much worse and very painful. Is this typical in this situation? Or -- has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Thanks a bunch

I have been on Yaz for year and half now, and I usually get my period on the first day of the pill pack, so after i take all the whites, but i chose to start the pack originally the day my period started. When I first started I remember getting headaches but not missing a period. After 3 months, I started to feel side effects, nausea, dizzy, missed period, ect. I went to my doctor and we decided to wait a month before taking me off. The next month was back to normal. So it could just be because you are new to it, I wouldn't worry. My period over the past year has been very light, although this month was very irregular. I normally spot on the first day and bleed very lightly through the week, while this month was just spotting through the week. I've got other health problems that may have caused this but I am very happy with the pill overall.

Hello. I have been taking Yaz for about 8 months now. I've only had my period about 3 times since I've been on Yaz. My periods before Yaz were irregular, I remember not having one for 3 months... I was moody.. mean.. and constantly fatigued. But this last week or so I've been a bit moody like I used to be before the Yaz... snapping at people.. crying at the drop of a hat. I was told I have severe PMS. I went to my Gynecologist to maybe see if I could get a stronger dosage of birth control.. maybe the type I was taking was too weak. I told my doctor I wasn't getting my period on Yaz and he looked shocked.. and I remember when he first put me on it, He explained I would only get 3-4 periods a year. But when I recently went to see him, he told me I was wrong, and I should get a period every month while taking Yaz. Part of me knew that was not right. So, I've been looking up things about it and came across this forum. I could really use some help.. I love taking Yaz.. I feel so much better and am all around a happier person. My doctor prescribed me new pills but I really don't want to leave Yaz. Am I supposed to get a period every month on Yaz? I am reading everyone elses posts and to me.. it doesn't seem like I'm supposed too. Anyone know a for sure answer? Please I need help!!!

Thank you!

I have been taking Yaz for 3 months now. I am on my 4th month now. The first 2 months were wonderful, no side effects, got my period when I was supposed to. But now I haven't had my period yet and I have been on my new pack for almost a week. I have also been experiencing really bad cramps that have lasted a week and moodiness and very fatigued. I always thought you were supposed to have your period every month while on Yaz, and its weird how I had mine perfectly the 1st 2 months and now its being strange. Is this normal?
