Hey everyone, i've been on yasmin for 4 months now. This past saturday was my last day of the active pills, when I was about to take it I dropped it, and could not find it for anything in the world. I do not have another pack at home, so I just did not take the 21st active pill, I am now on my off week, this friday I am going to buy another pack to start on sunday as usual (sunday starter), but I do not know if I have to use a back up method, or for how long, since I only missed 1 pill. For info I have never missed a pill since the day I started taking bc. I will be asking the clinician on friday when I go to buy the pills, but I would like a response from you guys first,... Please answer a.S.A.P.!!!!!!!!!

I did the exact same thing last month. Anyway, your period will just come a day earlier. You do everything the same way, like starting your next pack on sunday. Um, if you want to have sex during your period week thats up to you, but just to be safe I would use a backup method too, just because you never know what might happen.

No I don't have sex during my period, but I mean when I start the new pack, do I have to use a back up method for a period of time or something?

No, you should be fine. Everything will be back to normal.
