    Default I didn't have a period, but I haven't had sex either

    Ok, I started taking Yaz 2 months ago. The first month I got a period that was heavy, but as soon as I started my active pills again it stopped. I'm starting another new pack tonight, but I haven't had a period at all. Like, not even cramps or anything. I've never just not had one, so I dunno if it's normal or not.

    I can't be pregnant because I've had no sexual contact of any kind. Is it normal to totally skip a period during the days you take the non-active birth control pills?

    Yaz has effects on the menstrual cycle; for most it's just a lightening and shortening (on average about 3 days) of the period, but for many others menstruation simply doesn't come at all on a regular basis.

    So yes, it's perfectly normal to not have a period, depending on your individual hormone levels and cycle.

    If you're really concerned about it, though, talk to your doctor.

    Have you been particularly stressed lately?

    ^^Yeah, I've been hella stressed the past couple weeks.

    And thank you Redifer. I am just freaking out because I'm always so regular with my cycle no matter what kind of BC I'm on. Good to know that it's (kinda) normal to not have one on a regular basis when taking Yaz.

    I'm on Yasmin too, and I find I have uber heavy periods one month, then really light ones the next. I've never skipped one entirely though.

    On a side note: never take three of them at once, even if you forgot for three days. Haha. I did that the other day and my stomach inflated to about three times its normal size and was twitching! Even though it hurt a bit it was kind of funny that it was twitching. The stupid things we put in our body eh.

    Ack! That just sounds weird and totally uncomfortable.

    I'm not on Yaz but I always notice when my period goes away I'm under alot of stress or I have been working out alot lately. Have you been working alot or under alot of stress?

    Stress has made my period disappear for months at a time.

    +1, as well as diet change. i used to joke about being pregnant when i wouldn't get my period for 3-4 months... but that seems to be a regular occurrence when i work a lot and i'm really stressed- however, working a lot = no interest in sex.. so it must be the immaculate conception.

    ginger, i'd go see a doc/ we can't diagnose this correctly here...
