Q: Yaz Missed 2 Pills

Hey everyone,
My wife had been on yaz for about 3 months, and quit for a month. This month, she has started back. She started on the second day of her period, and during the first week she was late taking two pills. She started on a Tuesday, and on Thursday she forgot to take her pill (10 p.m. normal time), she took it at 8 the next morning. Next, she forgot Sunday night's pill, and took it at 8 Monday morning.

When is it safe to have condom-less sex? Thanks.

You will see many articles online advocating that you use a condom for the rest of the cycle, and I second that. When a woman misses a pill (even one), her body may feel it's time to ovulate. Generally, the pill keeps that from happening...but, the egg may be released which makes it possible to get pregnant until the body goes through the cycle.

So, to be safe...the rest of the cycle, go with a condom.
