Yaz Help - Missed Period
Posted: 06-20-07 13:34pm
|
|
|
|
Last month I missed two pills in the third
week of my cycle taking Yaz 28 day cycle,
so the instructions were to throw away the
rest of my pills and start a new pack
meaning I would miss my period for that
month.
In Yaz there are 24 pills + 4 white pills
at the end meaning you have about 4 days
of your period. I have taken three of the
white pills now and still haven't started
my period. I'm a little paranoid now, and
since I missed my period last month (from
starting a new cycle since I missed pills)
I thought I would start early or even have
breakthrough bleeding but I haven't, and
haven't started my period so I'm a little
worried.
Is everything okay? Like I said I'm just
paranoid so I'm wondering if this is
normal. I'm not sexually active and have
not been for two months.
Should I start my new pack of pills even
if I don't have a period or should I wait
until I start my period to take a new
pack? I am on the last pill meaning I
would start the new pack tomorrow.

The pills will not hurt a developing
pregnancy, if that's what you're worried
about. I would test if you don't get your
period, and continue taking the pills for
another month. If you don't get it again
but the test was negative, I'd test one
more time just in case (for my own
personal peace of mind) and if it was
still negative... well, some of the
lo-dose pills can cause women to no longer
get their periods. It can be a normal side
effect.

Actually I just mainly want to know if I
should continue taking the pills as usual
or if I should wait to have my period and
then start taking them again.
Or if it's possible that I could be
pregnant! I had my period as usual the
first cycle after I stopped being sexually
active and then missed my second period
because I had to start a new cycle because
of missed pills. Now I'm missing this one
too so I'm worried that it isn't healthy
to be missing another one.

Keep taking your pills, don't wait for a
period.
It sounds as if there's very very little
chance of pregnancy.

Yaz

I just started Yaz 4 months ago and I
haven't had a period in two months. I was
just going to pick up an early pregnancy
test to be sure but from the sounds of it,
it is the nature of this pill. It's been
nice not having my period but at the same
time, I am panicking that I am pregnant.
Have more people been experiencing the
same symptoms of this pill?

spotting then I got my period, 2nd month

placebo pill and lasted for 2 or 3
days...i'm hoping mine comes
tomorrow..i've taken the pills religiously
at 11am everyday being at the most 20 min
late or early...I've heard alot about this
pill making you skip your period..i think
if that ever happened to me i'd freak

I? I have been active..but like I
said..i've taken the pill as i should

It's totally healthy not to bleed.
Seasonique makes you have 4 periods a
year, depo can be taken so you never have
one.

i'm like you, i'd freak out if it didnt
come..thats why i was worried about this
pill..because I've heard it isn't uncommon
on such a low dose to just completely miss
a period..i like my period..it eases my
mind lol..i've been on this pill for 3
months now.the past 2 months strangely i
haven't gotten my period until the very
last white pill..which, during month 2 i
was flippin out because i thought like you
it was supposed to come on the first
placebo pill and last those 4 days that
you were on the placebos..i just finished
my 3rd pack and again my period didn't
come until the very last placebo
pill...maybe yours is like mine? i dont
know..

Yes, you should 
That's because it's actually "withdraw"
bleeding, and the period you had during
the month is actually spotting.
Once you go on the placebo week (white
week I guess?) you will stop putting
hormones into your body. You're still safe
from pregnancy though! This drop in
hormones prompts bleeding.

Are the white pills the placebo pills?
Some forms of birth control (I think Yaz
is one of them) can make a woman skip her
period all together. If you're nervous,
just take a pregnancy test. But if you've
been taking the pills every day within a
few hours of each other, you should be
fine.

Yaz B C Pills --late Starting My Period Took Antibiotics!
Posted: 10-17-07 22:35pm

I've been taking YAZ Birth Control Pills
for about 10 months now. My periods have
been somewhat regular since I started
YAZ, one month I was about 5 or 6 days
late. Last month I had a bladder
infection and took Levaquin (an
antibiotic) for 10 days, while I continued
my YAZ pills daily. I had sex 7 days after
finishing up the antibiotic. I am now 5
days late on my period. Any one have any
clue?

I got a forward on my email about a woman
dying from Seasonique. I guess she got
blood clots on the brain and it killed her

ALL birth control caries a risk of clot if
I recall, so yes, it can happen. However,
it is extremely rare. Progesterone only
kinds may not, I don't remember. But all
combo pills/mixes CAN cause clotting. That
is why it is absolutely imperative that
you do not smoke while on birth control.

Yeah I'm looking in to starting YAZ. I
hope it can help me balance my body out
again! Anyone have anymore to say about
it? I've been on the ring and the patch
and I bleed all the time. I've had a bunch
of tests recently to make sure everything
is ok and it so they have to switch my BC
again! Any other opinions on others? To
SLH just wait it out you might just be
skipping this month it happens with YAZ.
Hope that helps!

And I've been under a tremendous amount of
stress for the past 2 months, could that
be why I've skipped my period?? I still
have not started my period, I've had
cramps like I'm going to start, but no
bleeding yet and now I'm 7 days late.
