Missed Period on Yasmin

Hi have a quick question and I was wondering if some of you may have an answer or opinions. What are the chances of completely missing a period while on birth control when the pill has been taken correctly the entire month. I am on my first month of Yasmin which I am taking to make my periods regular and I haven't used any other methods of contraception durring this time.

Hi gabrieal_monique_0o0, welcome!

It's not unusual miss an occasional period while on BCPs. If you have been taking your pills correctly (for more about doing that see the post in our FAQs) I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you miss two periods in a row then you should see your doctor to find out what's going on.

Have you actually missed your period? Aunt Flo's arrival may be on a different day and perhaps shorter and lighter than when you were cycling naturally and it is normal for AF to arrive anywhere from hormone free day 2 through 5 of your placebo week, but can be sooner or later. Even if AF doesn't show up at all be sure to start your next pack on time to retain your protection.

Thanks for posting. More questions? If so, please ask. Let us know how you like Yasmin and how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
