Stopped YAZ midcycle, no period still after 4 weeks. Normal?

[leethinker]

I everyone. I'm 36, mother of two. I took YAZ birth control for about 5 months. In the 5th month I got breakthrough bleeding midcycle which lasted a week, brown dark blood. I was unhappy with YAZ anyway, so I stopped taking the pill. I still had about 6 hormone pills left before the placebo pills started. That was 4 weeks ago and I still haven't gotten a period. I should have gotten a withdrawal bleed about 3-4 weeks ago. I've taken countless pregnancy tests - the last sex I had was on March 26th.
Wouldn't a pregnancy test show up positive by now if I were indeed pregnant? I can't imagine anyway that I would be because I took my pill regularly and did not stop the pill until 1.5 weeks after having sex. Also, he pulled out before ejaculating anyway!!

So my questions are:
- Wouldn't a pregnancy test (morning urine) show up positive by now???
- Is it normal to not get my period yet??? When should I expect it?

My doctor said I shouldn't worry, but of course I still am and wanted to get a second opinion.

Thanks for your help!

Hi!
I guess that's your answer!
If all goes well, you should have another period in about 28 days.  Don't use withdrawl as your only contraceptive method unless you are OK with a baby!

Thank heavens for AF!
Good luck!
