Answer
Hi Lola,
If I understand correctly, you stopped the Yasmin in November and had a period end of Thanksgiving week.  It's not unusual that it takes 4-6 weeks for your normal periods to resume after going off birth control pills.  As long as you're sure you're not pregnant I'd just be patient and wait for your period to start.
