Right now I am on the 4th day of the placebo week (Sunday start), and so far... no period! I expected to have a hellish period with cramps and a lot of blood, but there's nothing other than a little bit of brownish CM.
Should I be concerned?
I'm almost scared to say this, but should I be buying a pg test????

I am past placebo and now on day 2 of active and no AF
Hi everyone. This place is great, whenever I have a question, it seems the thread has already begun!
I started having cramps and breast tenderness at about 16 days into the active pills, which has been the routine since I started on Yasmin in April. I had been getting my period around day 16 or 17. Well I entered my placebo week, and no AF, but the cramps, breast tenderness and pms came full-blown (Yasmin had helped for the 3 cycles prior).
Now I am entering day 3 of my active pills and still no bleeding. On Saturday, I took a PG test (negative), and thought well maybe I am just late, or I missed a period. But why the full-blown pms symptoms?
I am very uncomfortable right now. (It's 3:20am so obviously I am not sleeping). I am calling my doctor in the real morning, but what should I tell him I want to do? Doctors always ask what I want them to do for me. I don't want to play with my cycles and get all messed up.
So my questions:
- Anyone else have this happen?
- What can my doctor do for me? I just want these symptoms to stop!

I was only on Yasmin for two months, and would have my period during the first week of active pills. This after a week of waiting for it during the inactive pills. Very unnerving...
