Hi everyone.
I've been on ortho lo for about six months and I always get my period either on the 4th or 5th inactive (green) pill but I always get cramps about a week before but this week i'm supposed to take my 4th pill tonight but I haven't gotten any cramps at all and i'm afraid that I won't get my period. Should I worry?

Not to Worry
I've been on yasmin for about 4 years. I've had early and late periods while on birth control. I don't think either of you should worry. For about the last 3-4 months, my periods have been either late or early without messing up pills and right before them I didn't feel any pms symptoms at all. I'm healthy, not pregnant, and don't mess up my pills. Sometimes, it just happens. I've been 4 days early and 3-4 days late before. If you go a week without a period, I would start to worry, but not right now. I think you both are fine. Hope this helps a little!

Extremely eHealthy
I have noticed that for some women, the longer they take the pill, the more inactive pills they may take before they get a period. This is not "common" per say, but it does happen. An early pregnany test could be taken if you like.

Hey everyone, Im on Gianvi (generic for yaz-trying to save money) I'm on week 2 on the pack and during the "white" pills there was no period, until now that I am on week 2, this is my 3rd day off and on throughout the day on my period. I have been on birth control for about 2 years, taking pills on time.(sexual activity has minimized)should I panic? miscariage? urgent care?
