Yasmin effectiveness ?
Posted: 03-03-08 21:21pm

Hi. I'm new to these boards. Here's my story:

I'm currently in my fifth month of Yasmin. I had sex without a condom on the second day of my placebo pills over the weekend. It was the second time we've had sex without a condom in our year of couple-hood and the first time during which he came in me. I started my period the very next day.

I'm pretty certain I'm not pregnant, but I guess I just want a second opinion because historically, the women in my family have been VERY fertile. Does having a period while on birth control serve as a guarantee of not being pregnant? Can I rely on this as a barometer? Even though I'm on birth control and take it at exactly the same time every day, I'm just hyper-paranoid about becoming pregnant. Using a condom gives me peace of mind but I would prefer to have sex without one in the future.

Any advice, etc., would be great. Thanks!

As long as you take your pill correctly, which you said you do, then you are good to go!

You're fine!! You just need to take the pill at the same time. If you do that, you have very little to worry about!!

You are safe during the placebo week.
