I had been on yasmin for about a year. I just got off it back in july. I had 3 normal periods since then but I havent had a period since october. I took a home pregnancy test and it came up negative. Could someone please tell me what's going on?

You could have had a false negative test result. Are you having any pregnancy symptoms?

Maybe i'm just really paranoid, but I got a few symptoms. I'm a lot more sleepy and hungrier than usual and my breast/nipples seemed to have gotten larger. I'm wondering how common are false negative results from a home pregnancy test? I thought that only happened when you test too early. I tested 2 weeks after my 1st missed period.

After stopping birth control, some women find that their periods are a bit "funny", or even non existant. Are you trying to become pregnant? The best thing for you to do is to buy an "ovulation detection test", and track your cycles. If you do not want to become pregnant then you should definately use a form of protection. :)

I got off of yasmin after being on bcp for 7 years. Yasmin was the last one that I had been on for a couple of years I guess. My first period after getting off was 4 days late with no cramping and it only lasted about 5 days. That's unusual for me because I usually have 6-7 day periods with lots of cramps on the pill. I thought I could have been pregnant. I'm waiting to see if this period comes because I have a few symptoms.

I found out last week that I am pregnant through a blood test. I had really low hcg levels, which was why it was not showing up on the home pregnant tests so I guess the question has been answered and it had nothing with to do the yasmin pill. Although I will never go back on it again! I had some bad side effects.
