Q: Missed Pills
asked by: forever16 on August 1st, 2007

For some reason I forgot to take Monday's pill (I thought I had taken it since the pack was on my desk) and I forgot to take yesterday's pill. So, on the Yasmin website it says

If you MISS 2 active pills in a row in WEEK 1 OR WEEK 2 of your pack:

Take two pills on the day you remember and two pills the next day.
Then take one pill a day until you finish the pack.
You MAY BECOME PREGNANT if you have sex in the 7 days after you miss pills. You MUST use another birth control method (such as condoms or spermicides) as a backup for those 7 days.


So that means I take Monday and Tuesday's pills now then tomorrow I take Wednesday and Thursday, right? I'm just asking this as a clarification sicne I've never missed a pill before.

You are correct. Just make sure to use extra protection if you have sex within the next week.
