So...I have been on birth control for five years.  I was on a mini pill for a year, and switched back to yasmins generic (ocella) about four months ago (normal periods, no issues). 

I am not sure if I was just stressed or what but I forgot to take the Placebo week of pills, and continued with the new pack.  Two weeks in I realized this and decided to take my seven days of placebo ( i tried the continuous pills with no break and it didnt go well, didnt want to do that at all).  My period did not come...No cramps, no nothing.  Feel totally normal honestly. 

So my question is, should I have gotten a period in that time since I took 6 straight weeks of pills??? 

Last period was september 10th I think :)(usually around a tuesday, or tuesday night).  Fiance and I have been active a few times a week since then...Cant believe I did this lol, hoping someone around here has some advice :)  Thanks

Have you taken a home pregnancy test?  While the likelyhood of pregnancy is low, I would recommend this as a first step. 

It's possible that stress could be preventing you from starting your period, or it could be due to the additional pills.  Unless you think pregnancy is a real possibility, I'd suggest waiting until the end of this next packet of pills and contact your physician if your period still does not arrive.
