Yaz Birth Control

I have been on Yaz for 4 months and my periods have not been regular, if you can even call them periods. So, I decided to take a pregnancy test just in case and it was negative. Would taking Yaz affect the results of the test in any way??

Hello,

Yaz, won't make a pregnancy test falsely negative. You and your physician may want to consider switching to another pill.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
