yes you are they are for the week you are on your period.
No, Yaz contains a mixture of active and placebo pills.
Ömerr
The biggest difference is that Yaz contains 24 active pills and 4 inactive pills, which have no active ingredients and Yasmin has 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills. The smaller number of inactive pills reduces some of the symptoms that occur just before and during the period.
Since the white pills are placebo, it doesn't matter if you were a half hour late, just take it as soon as you remember. If you skip more than 1 white pill, just throw the white pills you skipped, and keep taking the next one normally. The white pills are sugar pills, they are there just to keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day. The yellow pills are the active ones, that contain hormones. Those ones, you need to take ON TIME every day!! ! M.
all birth control pills work for 24 hours each
First, Ortho-Novum is a brand, not a specific birth control pill. Yaz has a different progestin in it than the Ortho Novum pills on the market as of 2013.
If you switched right from Yaz to Seasonale, you're not likely to get a period until you get to the placebo pills in the seasonale pack.
It's possible, but relatively uncommon. Talk with your health care provider about options. There are many other pills on the market...and many of them cost a whole lot less than Yaz!
I wouldn't worry. Did you go through the whole cycle of pills? If you did as soon as you are suppose to start your pills then do. If you are still in doubt call your doctor.
You could start the hormones pills part way through the placebo pills to change the next month's cycle (say you would have your period on a Wednesday next month, instead of a Friday) but it would not affect the cycle you are currently on. When your uterine lining starts to shed, it sheds. For example, Yaz only has 4 placebo pills instead of 7, like some birth control brands. For many women on Yaz, they won't start their period until the last day of placebo pills. They will start their period on the last placebo and continue to have it through the first few days of the hormone pills.
Yes. Yaz is monophasic.
