New to Bc ... on Yaz .. extremely Worried Placebo Posted: 05-27-07 13:14pm
ok so, i freak out at the thought of
getting pregnant, i've only been sexually
active for about a year and using condoms
isn't enough for me. I recently went on
the b.c. YAZ about 2 months ago. On the
first month there was spotting and my
period came on the day I started the first
placebo pill...i just took my 2nd placebo
pill and i'm kinda worried because i was
expecting my period on the first placebo
pill(yesterday) and haven't gotten it
yet...before birth control i was extremely
irregular but i thought b.c. would make
everything normal. I have been sexually
active and haven't used a condom however
i've had my boyfriend pull out and I have
definitely taken ALL pills religiously at
the same time every single day being at
the most 15 minutes late one day...i read
you could completely miss a period due to
the low dose of estrogen but i still have
that pregnacy fear in the back of my
mind...am i just freaking out? Its
possible my body is still adjusting to the
birth control and maybe i just skipped a
period because of that right? And is this
bad to skip a period, should i go on a
higher dosage?

Birth control will make everything normal,
but it can often take up to three months
for this to happen. Personally, I don't
get my period until day 3 or 4 on
ortho-lo. If you are worried about
pregnancy, just take a test. If you've
been taking the pills right (and don't
worry about being off by an hour or two
each day, it's okay!) then you are fine.

I've been on Yaz for 6 months now. I was
getting my period regularly on the last
placebo pill day but I've actually missed
my last 2 periods completely (i tested
both months). i talked to a nurse at my
doctor's office and she said it's normal
and a lot of women actually go on yaz with
the hopes of skipping their periods.
if you don't think you'll be comfortable
with this and you'll be worrying all the
time, perhaps you should look into a
different pill.

thanks for the reply... i hope so...with
yaz there are only 4 days of placebo pills
and with others i guess there are 7?
so...i dont know...when i was off bc my
periods were irregular and lasted for 5
days so i just hope im still adjusting to
the pill...my friend has been on bc for a
few years and hers is regular, period
comes exactly when its supposed to..i
guess i just set high expectations when i
haven't even finished the first 3
months...i've taken them on time everyday
so i think i'm just freaking out over
nothing....as always about this time of
month ...any other replys
are welcomed i will read every one and i'm
so so glad i found this forum!

I'm pretty sure it's just your body
adjusting.

thanks so much for the replys...i might
consider talking to my doctor about
another pill if this continues, i'm
definitely not one thats comfortable with
skipping completely...i take my third
placebo pill tomorrow, i'll probably buy a
test as well if it doesn't come
