YAZ Question

So I took the monthly pack to regulate my period.  I gotmy period what does this mean?  That I seriously got my period and it will continue going on like this?

I'm not sure i understand what you're asking. If you took your entire yaz packet for the month, you should be having a normal period. It should be just like before you were on yaz. Is that what you're asking? =)

Okay so Basically I got one monthly packet of YAZ to regulate my period.  Before that I didn't have my period for 5 months.  Now after this packet I got a "Period" Is this really my period? And will It now come every month just because of this YAZ packet thing?  And do I have to take another packet to regulate it further?

sometimes one month on the pill will kick it back in gear, sometimes you will need multiple months, and sometimes u just arent ever going to have a reg period.

give ur dr a call on monday and ask her what she wants you to do-- go off for a month and see what happenes or start another pack.

(and btw u are right to put the "period" in quotes-- its really a withdrawal bleed not a period, but the hope is it pushes your body into re-regulating with its own hormones...)

But If I were pregnant this "Withdrawal Period" wouldn't happen correct?

Does anyone know?  (Question above) ^

no if you were preg you would not have a withdrawal bleed.  are you concerned about being preg?  tests are cheap and can set your mind at ease, but generally, if you are having what looks like a period when your period is due, then you arent preg.

may I ask why you didn't have your period for 5 months? Have you conducted a home EPT(pregnancy) test?

I dont know when my period is really due I haven't had it for 5 months.  So this is basically what looks and feels like a period.  I took 2 HCG blood pregnancy tests and 4 home pregnancy tests and were negative. And now I got this "Period" after the YAZ packet so Im just making sure that pregnancy is still not a posibility.  thanks or the help =)

sounds like you are good to go.  =) do know tho that your fertility can return as quickly as it left--- if you arent continuing on the pill you must use a barrier method.  with the the unpredictableness of your periods, a condom, diaphram, sponge, whatever is utterly necessary.  you wont be able to count the days properly.

**luck** that this puts you back on schedule!

Will my period be regular now month to month?

there is no way to know for sure.  it sort of depends on the root cause--- is it stress, a lasting hormonal imbalance, a resolved hormonal imbalance, body fat, etc.

also, the bc hormones can stick around for a while so u might get a normal period next cycle and then not have a normal one after that.

my best advice (which doesnt sub for a dr obviously lol) is to track the day that you got your withdrawal bleed this time and expect to get your period 25-40 days later.  keep a nice detailed log (like in your journal on here!) with your weight, stress level, and maybe fat content of your foods on average to make sure that it isnt diet that is causing the problem.  also pay attention to mood (outside of stress, are you depressed? irritable? happy?) and any thing else that might be important (dry/oily skin, hair quality, ie too much too little falling out growing a lot very dry very oily dandruff etc, and nails).  Then when you go back to the dr again (if you have to) you will have a good log of symptoms that will let the dr have a better idea of the root cause.

Sniff, I cant wait for the next 3 years in the real world before I can go back to school to be an MD.  This JD thing is fun but just not *it*

I will try that.  Thanks so much for the advice and it will certainly help  =)  I was sooo stressed al these 5 months because I didn't et my period and I was going crazy but it could also be that im a bit underweight not that much 110 5"4 but maybe it could be the amount of fat in my diet I only have about 6-10 grams a day sometimes less.  Who knows?  Anyways thanks  =)  It really helped.
