Alright, I've been taking Gianvi, the generic of Yaz, for the past two months. The first month I remember getting my period just fine. Now I'm on my 3rd placebo pill out of 4 and wondering if I will get my period at all, and all I've had is some light brown discharge mixed with some clotting/tissue. Is this normal? And if I don't get a period could I be pregnant?
I know the chances are slim, I've never missed a pill (I take it about 7:10 am, but never later. Sometimes earlier at about 6:45, which I hope is okay.) My boyfriend and I always use a condom and even then we still use the pull-out method. Last time we had sex there was just something different about the condom that didn't seem right so we stopped having sex and he didn't ejaculate. That was about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I'm getting paranoid since my period hasn't started!
I would just like some advice please, and maybe some reassurance of me just being too paranoid. I'm still a teenager and do not want pregancy so I've been trying to be as safe as possible. I know, the only way to be 100% safe is abstinence but I'm trying to be informed and safe about sex. Any advice is appreciated greatly, thank you.

I'm having the same thing. Did you ever receive your period or were you pregnant?

To add to your knowledge, pulling out is NOT a method of birth control. I don't see how you could possibly be pregnant, When you're on the pill you don't ovulate, so a condom is not needed for prevention of pregnancy. So the condom feeling wrong won't make any difference in your protection.When you're on the pill your periods get shorter and lighter. Its even possible to skip a period now and then. If you miss 2 in a row its time to call your dr. If you don't get any more bleeding then what you are, start the next pack like you're supposed to don't wait for a period. Its not necessary to your health to have a period every month when you're on hormonal birth control.
