Hi all,
I've been on Yaz for about a year now and with my Thursday start date, I always have gotten my period on Tuesday. And now it's Wednesday and I haven't gotten it. My boyfriend and I recently stopped using condoms so pregnancy is the first thing on my mind. I have also been traveling a lot because of a sick relative (obviously added stress) so I was thinking that could have to do with the late period but I was under the impression that my period shouldn't be late when taking the pill. I took a pregnancy test this afternoon which came out negative...would it be too soon to tell?
Any feedback or info would be so wonderful-- I'm really starting to get worried.
Thanks.

If the patient has not adhered to the prescribed dosing schedule (missed one or more active tablets or started taking them on a day later than she should have), consider the possibility of pregnancy at the time of the first missed period and take appropriate diagnostic measures.
If the patient has adhered to the prescribed regimen and misses two consecutive periods, rule out pregnancy.
