Q: Starting Yaz before period

I just started the pill, and for the last little while my period had been starting on the 13th (both April and May) so on June 13th I took the pill because I figured maybe it would come later that day, I also took it on the 14th but still no period. I've never had unprotected sex and the closest that could come would be my boyfriend putting the condom on inside out and then fixing it, and I've been very stressed so that might cause the delay as well but I was wondering if starting the pill a few days early might cause a change in hormones were I to take a pregnancy test in case?

Also, I was wondering if I should just keep taking it because I decided to skip today's pill.

Thank you

You shouldn't start the pills before your period started. Period delay could be due to pregnancy but also to starting the pills too early.
You can do a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy. If the test is positive you should stop the pills and consult your gynecologist.
If the test is negative you can continue the pills without skipping any pill. You shouldn't be surprised if some unexpected bleeding happens.

Thank you, but even before, because i'll give it a week due to the stress that had been present the week before, should i just continue to take them?

If you stop taking your pills you are no longer protected.
Keep taking the pills until you test, though I highly doubt you're pregnant considering you've been on pills and condoms.

The pills won't affect the test.

Yes, you can just continue to take the pills even if your period does not come but only if the pregnancy test is negative.
Did you do a pregnancy test?
