I'm on the yaz birth control. I've been on yaz for about 5 months now but was on something different for about 5 months before that. I take my pill everyday on time. I'm sexually active with my boyfriend though. We have sex about 3 times a week. Always with a condom except 2 times this past month. He pulled out before anything happened so i should be safe. But i'm on yaz and i was suppose to get my period yesterday ( the first day of my inactive pill) it's now the second day out of the four inactive pills, and i still don't have my period. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it came out negative, but i dont know how accurate it was because i drank so much water... Help!

Ok, most birth control pills take atleast 3 months to get into your system fully and thats only if youve been taking your pills everyday and on time. You stated that you have been doing that.
now if you look at the pamplet that comes with YAZ, look for something about high risk periods of time. On some birth control pills, the high risk time is usually the 1st and the 3rd week of a new pack of pills. Meaning that everytime you start a new month of pills, the 1st week and the 3rd week could be times of the pill that there is a larger risk of getting pregnant. it may not have high risk times though, but its always good to check.
you should ALWAYS start your period when you start your inactive pills. You could be pregnant, but its not registering on the test yet. Also, If you ar under alot of stress, this could mess with your regularity too.
the best thing to do is to continue taking your pills as normal, and in about 3 days, take another pregnancy test. if you are pregnant, you will want to know right away so you can start your prenatal care to keep your baby healthy.
hope this helps. =] let me know if you need anything.

I do know someone who had a baby recently while she was on the pill though, and she said she took it correctly each time, witch was why she was so shocked, water can dilute your pee making the pregnancy test inaccurate, i would wait a couple more days and if you dont get it then take another test but this time with your first morning pee, like it says to do in the instructions
