Pills Not Taken At Same Time, Help?! Posted: 12-11-05 13:45pm
Ok i'm really bad at doing this "take the
pill at the same time" thing. So i'm on
yasmin and i've missed taking it at the
same time thrice now. However, I do end
up taking them within 2-3 hours because I
suddenly remember. Since today is the
third one that I missed the time....This
time i'm taking it 3 hours later, i'm
wondering if i'm at serious risk. Do I
need to throw away this pack and start a
whole new one? Or can I just finish this
one? Oh, this is my first pack of pills.
I've never taken them before. Also,
i'm not having sex right now because my
boyfriend is away and will only be back in
a week. Should I worry? Its only a
couple of hours..I figure since I didnt
miss a whole day, maybe its not that big a
deal? Any help would be greatly
appreciated

Okay, yasmin like other combination
contraceptive pills are not as "time
sensitive" as the "mini pill" (progestin
only must be taken within 30 minutes) so
taking it within 3 hours is definately
okay.

I take my yasmin within the same 5 hours
ever day. (between 5-7am m-f and between
8-11 on weekends) and I never have
protected sex...I've been on yasmin for
almost 8 months and have very few
complaints about the pill.
