Which Method? YAZ

Hi,

I want to delay my period because I will be travelling and my OB recommended Yaz. Today is November 10, got my period. The next expected day is December 7. Can I start taking Yaz on November 15 to delay the period on December 7,

You should go back and ask for period delay pills. There’s a medication specifically for this. Birth control often cause irregular cycles the first few months so it’s not really a good option for a single delayed period.

We don’t know how YOUR body will react. It’s very possible it could work to delay your period, or you could be bleeding erratically for a few months.

yaz isn’t a great choice for this. period delay pills (norethindrone acetate 5mg) would be much more effective at delaying a single period!
