Yasmin, still no period on 5th inactive pill

I've been on Yasmin for about 4 months, and I always start my period within 3 days of taking the inactive pills.

A couple of weeks ago, I missed a pill and didn't realize it until later the next day, close to the next dose, so I skipped it, but I still had sex with my boyfriend during this time.

And now I'm at the end of the pill cycle and only have very light spotting on day 5 of inactive pills... nothing at all like my regular periods.

So, of course I'm worried I could be pregnant, but the information booklet that comes with Yasmin says missing only one pill shouldn't matter?? Could this be possible?

I have been on Yasmin for a little over a year and this is the first month that I didn't have a period. I took some antibiotics towards the beginning on the pack, so I am thinking that is what may have caused me to skip my period. All I had was some light spotting. I know I am not pregnant. To answer your question, I wouldn't completely rule out pregnancy, but I would say that it is not likely. Usually, just missing one pill shouldn't be a problem. If you don't get your period in the next couple of days you might want to take a pregnancy test. However, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you don't get your period next month, then you might to look into the possibility of being pregnant.

Don't wanna be the cause of panic but I got preg while takin' Yasmin & I took EVERY pill on time so it is possible...but remember there are LOTS of reasons for not gettin' af sometimes...good luck!

I found while on Yasmin that my AF would come on the 6th or 7th day and go on into my next pack.
