Okay so this stuff has been really helpful, but I would still love some input on my situation. I have been on Yaz for around 10 months now and it's been a month since my period. Me and my (now ex)boyfriend ALWAYS used condoms, except one time, but he never came inside me (or at all) plus the NEXT day I got my last period. I take my pills like clockwork and maybe MAYBE missed one in the first week. I have noticed my periods getting much lighter and shorter as I am on the pill, but still, I am worried. I am on my last lil white pill tomorrow. Should I be worried?
I have been on birth control for the past nine years. I was put on it at a young age to regulate my life altering periods. I've been on a few different kinds. I was on Ortho-Tri Cyclen for a while, until I started spotting in between, and then I was on Orthocept for a while until I learned about the benefits of taking Yaz. My doctor agreed that I should try it out, so I've been taking it since February 2007 with no real issues. My periods are much shorter and lighter, but I knew that was going to happen. I am a Sunday starter, so I take my last active pills on Tuesdays and start on Saturday. This has pretty much been the case for the past year and a half, and I'm fine with that. However, my period in September didn't start until Sunday, and then I didn't get a period in October or November. I was supposed to start this past weekend, but nothing happened. I've had cramps, and my back has been hurting like crazy, but there's been no blood at all this time. I did have a spot or two last month. I took a pregnancy test after last month, which came out negative. I'm calling my doctor today. I'm done with Yaz. The benefits aren't that great anyway. I'd rather be healthy than get out of having a normal period.
Wow. Im glad I found this forum, but im still worried.
The last week of my pills (the pink & white) I was stressed and busy and ended up not taking 2 of my last pink pills. But, since it was my last week and since my boyfriend and I just broke up, I knew I wouldnt be having sex so I just didn't take the last 2 pink pills. I was off the pill for 6 days with no period.
My boyfriend and I had had sex the month before, I was only about 4 or 5 pink pills in. I took them religiously and he wore a condom. However, I didn't get my period for SIX days. I read the info that comes with Yaz and it said to just take your pills as normal if you miss a period. So, I did.
I'm at the end of the second week of pills, and obviously I wont get my period right now, because Im on the pill, however I looked up the signs for early pregnancy and I have some of them. Fatigue, gas, it seems I have to urinate more often and my stomach/lower abdomen seems very bloated. It feels like a gasy bloated feeling but... is it too early to have signs of pregnancy? It's been 5 1/2 weeks since I've had sex and I missed my period 2 1/2 weeks ago.
After reading this forum, I feel so much better, but Im still only concerned that I was off the pill for 6 days, not just 4 and STILL didn't get my period.
Has anyone been off the pill for that long and not gotten their period?
I'm just praying I'll get it this month. I'm really not trying to surprise my ex with a child. Oh dear.

OK, So I have been on yaz since last March! I missed a pill once this pill pack and unfortunetly I am not really sure if it was the beginning or closer to the middle of the pack. I don't normally get my periods for long and they are usually not very heavy. Anyways, I was supposed to get my period on Wednesday. I am a sunday starter. Today is Friday and still nothing. Last week I had all of the period cravings of course chocolate chocolate chocolate and salt salt salt and this week i was bloated on wedneday. Still nothing. I'm sooo nervouse. Everyone I talk to says oh your fine your fine but I mean ughhh they don't take yaz so they can't really say for sure. Freaking out over here!!
wow this makes me feel so much better. I just started yaz almost two months ago and I haven't had a period and i've taken three pregnancy tests and all negative. I've been stressing myself out hardcore over this.

Late Period While On Yaz Birth Control
I've been taking norethindrone for 9 months and my period has always come. But, now I haven't had a period (I haven't been sexually active for 2 years). Is this normal?
I wanted to know if when you take yaz, do you skip a period? I started this pack and was supposed to get my period this week. Well, it's the end of the week, and still no period.
I switched back to yaz two months ago, I got the first period, but not the second one. I'm into my new pack and it still didn't start. Is that normal?
