hopefully, one or several of u out there
would be wise and kind enough to clarify
something for this 21 yr old with regards
to Yasmin (latest birth control pill doc's
have been pushing):
If the pill has been taken regularly AND
appropriately for roughly 5 months, and I
break for 7 days between packs (to allow
for my period), IS THE PILL still in
affect directly following the period...
previous to the consumption of the next
month's first pill?
Thanks a bunch... looking forward to some
insight!

The pill is effective ALL THE TIME once
you start. You were as protected as the
pill can be ONE WEEK after you started.
The only thing that lessens effectiveness
is missing pills, and some antibiotics and
herbs etc.

Hmm.. .. just want to make sure.
Does yaz come with different colored
inactive pills? Or just 21 regular active
pills?
I just want to make sure you weren't
taking the inactive pills, then skipping a
week, then starting again.

well yeah, im using yasmin 21; therefore i
have no "inactive" pills. Instead, i just
map out the 7 days between packs on my
calendar each month.
