It is best to wait unitl your period is due, and then stop them like that.

There are other methods, and maybe you should consider them...

Pull out does not work, just in case you wondered..

Nuva ring is great because it does not go through your stomach to work =)

You finish your pack ...Thats about it. If you dont finish your pack you'll throw off your cycle and probably have spotting or break through bleeding and thus causing your body to take much longer than necessary to recover and start ovulating on its own again.

Im on yasmin 28 so the last seven pills have no medicinal ingredients . So should I skip the last seven since they have no function, or should I take all of them.

Thanks for your help.

No, you do not need to take the placebo pills..

Nuva ring is birth control in a "ring" that you insert into your vagina it is bendy and flexy, so you do not feel it at all. The hormones do not go through your stomach or intestines, so you will not have the tummy aches etc..

Ask your doc about it =)

Are you suppose to get your period on the exact same day every month if you're taking yasmin? Because I am late and it's nerve wrecking :?

With any kind of birth control, you can get your period anytime during the placebo week.

Really? Well then I guess I have to wait :( . 3 weeks ago I had sex and the condom came off at one point. I know I wasn't ovulating because it happened right after my period. I also know that since im taking antibiotics, yasmin's effect decreases. So now im scared because I still didn't get my period. I have bad cramps, back pain, im tired, feeling sick to my stomach, bloated (all signs of pregnancy - as I read it on an informational site)
