Help?

I'm on Yasmin to make my periods more regular and not as birth control, since I'm a virgin. My doctor told me last time he prescribed me it that I could use it to skip a period, so I skipped my last two periods. I'm now four days off my next period which I do plan on having, and I've got an abdominal ache with occasional cramping and slight nausea (possibly because I've got a really low pain tolerance anyway). Is this a side effect of skipping periods, or something else? Normally I barely cramp at all and only ache on the first two days of my period.

Could be your body trying to have a period now. Don't be too worried if you start spotting for anything before you hit your placebo week. Your body just may not like going 2 cycles without a period.

Yeah, I'm going to second this. It could be your body punishing you for skipping two periods. But then again, if you've been on this pill for 3 months or less, this could just be side effects from it.

I've been on it since December and pretty much haven't had side effects as yet.

I've never been able to skip a period on Yasmin...my body wants to bleed after three weeks and bleed it shall, no matter what I do...ha!

So it might be just what moochar said....your body just wants to have the period now.

Really? Once I start bleeding I can't stop it with Yasmin, but I can skip easily. I haven't had any spotting at all yet.

It's possible...it's probably getting pretty desperate by now :)

Yeah, who really knows?

Eveyone's body has a different quirk.
