Good day, i am on yaz plus pill and my pack of pill got finished so instead of starting the new pack on the top section i started it on the silver section which makes it longer for me to get to the placebo tablets,ive taken it but no period why?

Question unclear but: Yaz and Yaz Plus are combination birth control pills that have 24 active pills plus 4 inactive pills in each 28-day pack. There is no way to take longer than 24 days to reach the 4 placebo pills. Since the 24 active pills are the same, it actually makes no difference which order a woman takes the 24 active pills in, as long as she takes one a day before reaching the 4 inactive pills.
