I just started yasmin on feb 2( the first
day of my period, it was a thrusday) I
have been spotting for at least two weeks
straight. But I don't believe I have
gotten my period yet. I am concerned
because I went to take my pill today and
saw that I am on my placebos(today was the
first day of placebos) since they don't
really do anything, am I still protected
from pregnancy while taking them? I
usually get my period on the first week of
the month and its only the 23rd

Yes you are protected from pregnancy
during the placebo week, and after that
week is done continue with your pills as
usual.
It is normal to have spotting and
irregularities when you first start taking
the pill.

Thanks for your reply. So even if I still
have a couple pills left when my period is
over( it kinda looks like I might have
gotten it today) I still finish off the
pack, correct?

Yep, always try to finish off the packs
the way you should, that way you stay on
schedule.
