Ive been using yaz for 14 months now,this month/pack I was planning to change it on a different bcp since I had se spotting/bleeding for two weeks or more so my doctor decided to switch me to other bcp,for some reason I wasnt able to get the new prescrition and took yaz instead but started on a monday night(I got my period on friday night),Ive always been a sunday starter but with this pack I started on a monday night,then on tusday I missed a pill then wednesday as soon I remembered it in at 10am I took one and took another pill that night. we had sex 6-7 days later,could I be pregnant? I am worried like crazy..I am still taking my pills as usual but kinda worried.

ok ok... let me make sure i'm getting this straight... so it IS common to miss a period on yaz???? (please say yess... %-) )

It sounds like it is a normal thing to miss a period or two while on yaz. Trust me I take my last white pill tomorrow and i have been freaking out all day long. But this forum has made me feel alot better about the whole thing. Pretty messed up that everyone has to freak out about it instead of doctors not letting us know. Anyways I think we are all fine.

First of all for those people who are freaking out because they have not gotten their periods yet, I have this situation almost monthly. Wait until the 2nd day of your new pink pills to take a pregnancy test. That is the longest I have had to wait and believe me I was going nuts until then! But it is understandable to want to know. Here is my question, I have been on Yaz since January 2007. Recently I tried to skip my period by taking the pink pills through and ignoring the white pills. I had tried this before and had a month of spotting, but I had figured that since I was new to bc and my body was just trying to shed, this was normal. This time, I was able to skip the week I needed, but am having a full on period now. My white pills don't start for another week and a half. I am wondering if I should be concerned. I know I should ask my doctor, but he's just going to make me come in and I just moved far away. Has this happened to anyone else? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

i have been taking estrostep for 7 years and got my period the same day every month.
i just switched to yaz and have no side effects, my mood has improved, i have not put on any weight but i am on my 3rd white pill with no period.
reading the post from girls not getting periods kinda gets me worried. i am thinking of switching back to estrostep

I agree with above posters that I get worried when my period is late. I only had sex once this last month but had been late on one of my pills. I almost always use secondary protection but this time didn't. Now I am on my third white pill and no period. I, too, am glad I found this for some reassurance, but I hope my period comes soon.

So, thank God for you all.
I just finished my 4th pack and am beginning my 5th. I also had "late" starting periods the first few months. Then in September I had two periods, and here I am in October, just finished the placebos, and no period. Though I did have the pre-cramping and tenderness and all that. Its scary!!! I will take a test if I don't have a period in early November, but at least I can sleep at night thanks to this forum.

OMG!!! that made me feel so much better! i got my period after not taking the active pills.. i kept forgetting to take them.. i did get my period after a week of not taking them... i tried to start taking them last week but again kept forgetting so i i started with a fresh pack..and now i have an alarm that reminds me to take them.. i was supposed to get my period last week and i guess that answers my question on why i havent gotten it... it was almost as if my period came and went..im still kinda cramping but im not bloated(usually gain weight, but i in fact lost all the water i was starting to gain)...cold, not warm, or fatigue or craving everything in sight like i normally would...like my period came and went.
now knowing this i will take the pills straight through

definitely no decrease in sex drive. =)
and to all the previous replies-this month is the first time I haven't gotten my period with Yaz-a scary thing when a condom broke about a week ago!
But I hear it's pretty normal, so I'll just keep my fingers crossed for at least a couple more days and hope for a sign that Yaz is doing its job.

I'm on my second month of Yaz (Was on a cheap one at first and moods went crazy)
I skipped the inactive pills for last month, a week and a half later (now) i get my period :S
it's the middle of the month!
Anyone had this before?
I thought maybe because i've been throwing up and stuff, but it was never after taking the pill. (btw i'm not preg, already had a test =) )

I've been on birth control pills for 10 years and skipped my period for the first time. I went nuts worrying about how I could manage having a child out of wedlock, pay my mortgage and keep a full-time job. My boyfriend welcoming the idea of a kid was simultaneously mortifying and comforting. 30 days after a missed period I apparently just skipped a month, even though I didn't skip ANY pills. I've chalked it up to YAZ after reading other posts on this site. Cramps were twice as painful but such a relief.
Thanks for hosting this site :-)

I'm glad to have seen this posting. I have been on Yaz since May this year and I was bleeding for about 3-4 months straight (lightly though) then in September I didn't get it and in October I didn't get it. I didn't take a pregnancy test but I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant. At least it's nice to know that there are people out there that have had the same issues since my doctor's office doesn't offer up any kind of relief.

Well this is my first month on Yaz... I am on my second day of the white pills. I was told by my doctor to make sure I take ALL of the pills because even the white one's have some hormones in them... i think .02mg
Nevertheless, I have not had my period yet and on Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo, I would already be on my second day of a period. I am/was worried that I might be pregnant, but after reading everyone's posts, I feel a little better. I too think that missing a period completely is unnatural and unhealthy (mentally and physically). I'm hoping that I at least get ONE day of something! Just for my own sanity!
The sex drive thing is a different story. I think my sex drive is actually a little higher. As far as not getting your sex drive back... ever... I'm pretty sure that is false.

It's not really a good idea to come into a thread like this and say something like that. Considering you are not your friend, and you don't REALLY know how good she was about taking her pill (I would be embarrassed to tell anyone if I screwed up my pills), I'd say keep this kind of talk to a minimum.
Anyway, I'm having the same problem. I'm down to the last two pills in my packet, but I had some phantom cramps and I feel a bit bloated.
I'm sure this is the case, but I will be picking up a pack of pregnancy tests. Erratic periods will drive me crazy!
