No Pms, Prego?? Help Please!? Posted: 08-17-07 01:00am
I've been on yasmin for about 10 months
now and so far I've had no major issues,
last month my period was extremely light
and only lasted about 2 days! I took a
pregnancy test and the result was
negative! This month I haven't noticed
any major moodiness which is generally
associated w/my PMS my boobs have been a
little sore but not as bad as normal,
should I worry about being pregnant!? in
the last few weeks I've taken my pill late
maybe 3 times top once was an hour late
the other 2 were no more than 15-20
minutes late. Replies will be GREATLY
appreciated?!
I do have sex regularly w/no condom or
secondary protection (monogamous
relationship).

Trying to put things in perspective for
you here.... we can all get a little
paranoid sometimes.
~You have not missed a period
~You have not had unprotected sex
~You have not taken your pill too late to
be effective
~The test was negative.
Why do you think you're pregnant??
A light period is normal on any kind of
birth control. You should enjoy it! And
taking the pill 15-20 minutes late is not
considered late, just normal. And an hour
late doesn't matter. In fact, you have to
be really really late before it's a
problem.
Hope this calms you down...

I do have unprotected sex, but i'm in a
monogamous relationship so should I be
worried?? this is just the first time in
almost 10 months I've had a lightened
period is all

No- since std's aren't a concern here,
it's not considered unprotected sex if you
are on the pill and taking it correctly!
You are protected. I would just consider
it a lightened period- nothing to worry
about.
Lots of things can cause changes in our
period. Over time, b/c can lighten it. But
stress, changes in eating patterns or
changes in exercise, other medications,
whatever- these can all have an effect on
our period too. Unless it just doesn't
come, or you haven't been taking your
pills correctly- I wouldn't worry.

I have taken Yasmin for the last year, and
I was fine until 4 months ago. I skipped a
period, had a terrible one, skipped again
and had a light one last month. My
pregnancy tests were also negative,
thankfully.
The inconsistency seems to be related to
the Yasmin since I haven't missed a period
since I was 12, minus the time I was on
the Depo shot a few years ago. If the
pregnancy test was negative, take the
lighter PMS as a blessing.
