No period with Yaz

Hi, I'm a BCP veteran and I am concerned about not having periods with Yaz. I am due to start my third pill pack tomorrow, but still no AF. I did not have one last month either, took 2 pregnancy tests (because I'm a little OCD and needed to know I wasn't pregnant) and am wondering if I need to test again this month. Am I to conclude that I just will not have AF while taking this prescription? This is the sixth BCP I've been on since weaning my youngest a little over a year ago. I had awful cramping and a couple made me very nauseous. I have had no side effects whatsoever from Yaz, so I'd like to keep using it. I'm just a little distrubed about the lack of period.

TIA for any feedback.

Well, my first reponse is lucky you! I am on Yaz and have been trying to skip periods, but I keep having BTB. I am no expert, but Yaz does shorten AF a good bit. I went from 5 to 7 days to like 3 to 4 days. It is supposed to do that. I am not sure about not having AF all together although I know it is not uncommon while on the pill. I hope Jill or some other knowledgeable person posts a response to you! I just wanted to share because I am on Yaz too and really like it.
