Hi I have been on Yaz now for 6 months. My period was all crazy during those six months. I asked my doctor what that was about and she said it was my body adjusting to the BC. Now I missed one pill this past month about 2 weeks ago. I was supposed to have my period this past weekend but basically wasn't there. I spotted like it was ending and that was it. Should I take a preg test or does anyone think this is normal. Of course my husband and I have had unprotected sex.

i have been on Yaz now for about a year and a half . About 6 months ago i was going away and i didnt want to get my period while i was away so my friend told me not to wait to start a new pack and instead of taking the 4 white placebo pills, to just start a new pack right away and i would skip my period. Well of course i was skeptical amd wasn't sure if this was safe so I asked my pharmacist if this was ok and she said sure. Well needless to say she didnt tell me that i should only do this for 3 months at a time and me like a dummy thought, great, no period, I'm never taking the white pills again. 4 months after continuously taking the pill with no break to get my period, i started to get a brown discharge and freaked out. Called the dr who said its fine just finish the pink active pills and wait to get your period during the 4 white pills. That was 3 months ago and i still have no period. I am not pregnant, i just got my results from a blood test yesterday and it came back negative. My dr says its ok not to get my period and thats the nature of this type of pill but I'm not so sure. Also, I should mention that in the past couple months i have headaches at least once a day, my breasts have been sensitive for the last 2 weeks or so and i have been feeling dizzy for over a week. I know these are all side effects from this pill but thats usually in the first 3 months you take it...why would i be experiencing these now after taking them for over a year? is it possible I screwed up my cycle when i took the pills continuously for 4 months?

I have been on and off birth control for over 5 years now.. just recently went back on Yaz birth control because hey, didnt want no babies flying out... but anyways. I have never had any troubles with any BC i have taken. Always got my period on time.. never gained weight or went up a cup size... But yesterday was the last white pill of my first pack being on them again. Still no period. Started freaking out till i read these posts and that others were having the same signs. So i dont feel so worried anymore... But two other weird things are that... I have lost weight about 7 pounds this month, and my boobs went up a cup size?!?! I havent been dieting or exercising either. Ah well I guess BC can help in more ways than one!

I wondered if anyone knows how long it takes for the pill to be effective once you have taken it.
Basically, I had a stomach virus about 2 weeks ago, where I had vomiting and diarhea. But this didn't start until about 4 - 5 hours after I had taken the Yaz pill and had stopped before I took the next one.
My last period before the virus was really really light, and since the virus I am now on the last of the white pills but have not had my period yet.
I'm going to do a HPT if Ive still not had a period in the next couple of weeks, but just wondered if anyone knew....

I have just started BC for the 1st time. I started it on the Sunday after my period started like my gyno suggested. I started my period a week and a half early and it was super duper light with no cramping and was wonderful! Only problem is I am still on my period and this is the 8th day! Is this normal? I am getting very irritated and ready for it to stop. I am suppose to start the white pills Wednesday...should i start the white pills or skip them and start a new pack instead? I am confused... %-)

I have just started BC and my gyno put me on Yaz...He suggested that I start the Sunday after I started my period, so I did. I started my period 1 1/2 weeks before the white pills were to be started, and really didnt think anything about it. It is super light and no cramps at all! Which is a HUGE change from how they normally are and I am in such a good mood all the time now...but I am on my 8th day of my period and it wont stop! I am getting very irritated!!!! Is this normal? I am suppose to start the white pills on Wednesday (day after tomorrow) and should I start them, or skip them and start a new pack instead?

i am new to taking yaz and i just got finish taking the first set of 24 pink pills and yesturday i took the first white pill. I haven't gotten my period yet. I've been taking the pills around 8pm every night since the beg. of the pack; however once or twice i took a pill 1-4 hours late but never more then that and i've never skipped for 24 hours. I allowed my partner to cum close to my vagina (but not in it) after 3 weeks of taking it and then once he did all the way 5 days ago. Is there something wrong? Could I be pregnant?

I've been taking Yaz for maybe 4 months now? And my period hasn't ever occured on the white pills, it's getting close, it's a week before or a week after. I was wondering if because my period isn't when it's suppose to be, could I get pregnant from not using a condom?

I also had concerns about this pill as I am currrently 42 days passed my last period and I am not pregnant. I have been taking Yaz since December and it is now May. I did notice that my last period was barely there which is extremely unusual for me. I also noticed that my breasts are constantly sore. While I am losing weight, my breasts seem to be steadily growing. I was concerned because I can usually set an alarm clock by my period and happen to have been a steady heavy bleeder for years now. I have never had the pleasure of not having one while not being pregnant so I guess I should be happy. I mean I am one of those rare cases who still got one during my first couple of months of pregnancy. It's just wierd and unatural to not get one. I also have been spending a lot of money on constantly buying bra's due to the steadily increasing size. It's annoying to have gone down from a double D due to wieght loss but one morning put on your new smaller bra only to discover you are now back up to a Double D. I have always had large heavy breasts so I don't consider them great. It's so not cool to not want your partner to touch them due to the pain. Thinking about switching to an IUD but just wanted to Google to see if I was the only one having the breast/missed period issues. Nice to know I'm not alone.

Hi there - I have the same exact thing going on as everyone else. It's good to read everyone's posts. My first month on YAZ my period started before the while pills and lasted almost 3 weeks!! (I think I win for longest!) :-) Now I'm in my second pack of pills, and I'm on my 3rd day of the white pills - still no period. I also do not think I'm pregnant as I have been VERY consistent with taking the pills - but I may start to worry in a few days!
Sounds like I just need to be patient and let my body adjust.

I am also on Yaz. This is the first pill I have ever taken and was put on it by my doctor because of irregular periods and ovarian cysts. Anyway, I started in February, and my first period after starting lasted over 9 days, it was ridiculous. Since that first one, they have all been 4-5 days in length and definitely lighter than they were before I was on the pill. But, I will say, my period has NEVER started and/or ended when it is supposed to. You are supposed to have your period on the days you take the 4 white inactive pills, for me that is Sun-Weds. I usually never get my period until Thursday or later of that week when it should have already ended...so annoying! Expecially now that it is about to interfere with my vacation!!!

I have just finished my first month of YAZ and am now on Sugar pill 3/4.
I am yet to have any start of a period - no spotting - nothing! My Fiancee works over seas and this past month there has been NO sex so I know I am not pregnant. Should I be concerned?
Thanks for any feed back - I really appreciate it!

Why are you frowning? I wish to GOD that I didn't have my period. Every month on Yaz I get my period, without fail. It usually comes on Saturday, but this time it came on Sunday, after I started my new pack. (I'm a sunday user). Unfortunately, my cramps are still around. They were so bad, I overdosed, and now I have to suffer with my cramps with no midol at all. I don't know why people are frowning when they don't get their period. Do you want pain or something? Bloating? Eating like a pig? At any rate, from what I know about Yaz, it's very time sensitive. If you don't take it perfectly, your period probably will be worsened. My period is ok, but the cramps were horrible, and I still got those huge blood clots, because I guess, I forgot to take the pill one day, and didn't take it at exactly the same time.
The reason you probably didn't get your period isn't because of Yaz - if you read the pack, it says missing one pill isn't means for an emergency.
