Q: Is It Normal to Not Get Your Period When Switching Pills?

I was originally on estrostep for about 2 years and my doctor just recently switched me to YAZ because of my mood swings. I am on the placeboes right now but i have yet to get my period. I assume its cause of the change of pills that is messing with my body but i really have no way of knowing. is it possible that i am pregnant or just that my body is trying to get use to the change? any help would be much appreciated.

When switching to a new birth control,give your body 3 months to let it adjust.If you think you are pregnant then take a test.If you still haven't had your period and your still worried then go see a doctor.
