Question
I am a 33 yr. old mother of 3.  I took Yaz for only one month and had a period during the placebo pills. I am now 1 1/2 months post Yaz and am 10 days late for my period.  I have taken 2 pregnancy tests; both were negative.  I have no spotting.  My cycles were normally 25-28 before Yaz.  I was not on any pill prior to going on Yaz for one month; I was using VCF.  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi Stacy,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor so I recommend that you consult your physician. Do you have any pregnancy symptoms besides not having a period? Sometimes, a woman can be pregnant and still not show up on the pregnancy test for a little while. Is there any other stress in your life or dietary change that could cause a change? Please talk to your doctor and see if he/she wants you to get a checkup. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
