Can you Become Pregnant While Taking the "Inactive" Week of Posted: 02-01-06 21:59pm


I have been taking Yasmin for about 2 years now. I was wondering if you can get pregnant while you are taking your inactive pills? I am just a little scared about a mishap. I was also on my monthly period at the time and he withdrew. Could you give me some advice?

If you take contraceptive pills according to the directions that accompany the prescription, you will most likely prevent pregnancy. You can’t get pregnant while you take inactive pills because you menstruate during that time. Inactive pills are taken during infertile days of the cycle. Even if the inactive pills are not taken there is no immediate danger of becoming pregnant. Inactive pills are taken only as a formality and to get you in the habit of taking the pills.
