how effective the pill is?

So I was on the marina IUD for two years and I just got it taken out on the 24th of April. The day I got it taken out I started taking the pill (Yaz). I didn't wait seven days to have sex nor did I have protected sex with a condom within those days. I have been feeling very moody and tired lately and have been eating more than I usually do and have been having food cravings. I have also been bloated. I am in the placebo part of my pill pack and my period was supposed to start two days ago and hasn't. When I had my IUD I didn't have a period, but with the pill the doctor said it was supposed to regulate my periods. So I haven't started my period yet and it makes me nervous. I took a pregnancy test today and it came up negative, but the fact that I haven't started my period yet and I only have two days left of the placebo pills I was wondering what I should do. Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant? Or is it the pills and the fact my body is getting used to the pills and getting used to the IUD not being there anymore?

your body does have to get used to not having the iud and infact having the a new pills regulating it again . i would just really watch out and if no period in another week go to the dr but you didnt have a period while on iud so i heard when you do eventually have one it gonna cramp real bad b/c your body has to let all that flush out and it hasnt in a while....so keep some meds around (and if you excersise regualary it decrease the amout of cramping and blood flow. it does for me!)
