Hi,
yesterday I missed a pill of the 2 week of
my yasmin pills and today forgot to take
it till this evening ( i usually take it
in the late morning) I had sex today
before taking the pill. I decided to take
2 pills this evening and plan on taking 2
pills tomorrow. Because I took the second
pill late does it count as a missed pill?
If so, am I at high risk of pregnancy?
I've been taking Yasmin for over 4 months
now, does that make any difference on the
risk?
I've heard if you take like 4 pills it can
act as an emergency contraception? any one
know more about this?
also, does taking antidepressants also
help? I know they will lower libido, does
that affect fertility?
finally, how much does emergency
contraception cost? can I use a higher
dose of yasmin instead?

1. Yes, it counts as a late pill.
2. No, it does not increase your risk of
pregnancy since you only missed one.
3. No, birth control pills reach maximum
effectiveness after just one week.
4. I have no idea about taking 4 pills. I
believe only very specific brands of pills
can be used this way. Besides, you don't
need to.
5. I do not believe antidepressants or
your libido affects your fertility at all
in this case. Your fertility is only
affected by the birth control.
6. I don't know how much something like
Plan-B costs but if I had to make a random
guess I'd say $20 for a box. You don't
need any right now anyway.
7. Again, I do not know if yasmin can be
used as an emergency contraceptive; but
you don't need to do that since you are
not at a higher risk of pregnancy.
