I skipped placebo bcp yaz 2 weeks ago. now i feel pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, being bloated, swollen feet, headaches, etc. haven't had unprotected intercourse. could it be really a pregnancy or is it the skipping of thr placebos causing this?

Skipping them causes: Skipping the placebos causes nothing, as long as a woman doesn't start the next pack of Yaz until the placebo days are passed (placebos have no medicinal effect). But, if she starts a new pill pack on the day placebos are supposed to start, she will get longer hormonal therapy without a break and may get symptoms. In such cases, taking a placebo week and maybe a pregnancy test may give answers.
