Yaz...Missed Period

I have been on BC pills since I was 19 and have NEVER missed a period. (I'm almost 26 now) I started out on OTC and it made me TOALLY crazy. I have switched pills many times over the years because of my crazy moods. I have been on Yasmine for the past year, and when I went to my gyno last month she switched me to Yaz. I finished my pack of Yasmine and started taking my Yaz, taking it at the same time every day like clockwork. (I set an alarm) I am engaged and have been having unprotected sex with my fiance since I went on the pill. My Gyno said I would not have to use backup when switching, so we didn't.
Here is the issue, I finished my active pills on Tuesday, and now have taken my last sugar pill. My new pack of Yaz is due to start tomorrow and I have not had my period. I have major PMS, slight cramping, swollen breasts, backache, and headache. I have had some mildly discolored discharge, but nothing I would even consider spotting. Should I be concerned? Has anyone missed their first period, or any period with Yaz? When I was on Yasmine my period came on Thursdays, which with Yaz would be the first active pill day of the new pack. Could I just not have a period with this pill? Should I take a HPT? HELP!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance,
Hilarye

OMG! I just went to the bathroom, and AF is here!!! I am so relieved. My period will only be 1/2 a day and maybe some spotting after taking my first active pills. If YAZ will help my PMDD and make my periods this short, it is the best thing since sliced bread! :)
THANKS SO MUCH

Hi Hilarye,
I am very glad to see your message. I am in the exact same position right now. I was taking Levora and just switched this month to Yaz because of acne problems. I started Yaz as a Sunday start, never missed a pill and took it at the same time every night.

Hi
I thought I should chime in here. It's me. I have intentionally been on Yaz contiously for several months now and have no spotting any longer and no periods. My tubes are tied so I do not use it for BC. I take it to deal with PMS I was getting with my periods and am at the age where my MD said I did not need any anymore. This is kind of like that new pre-approved Pill to not have any periods at all But with benefits! I do like it and it took several months for my spotting to stop. Lezza
