Missed pill on Yasmin

Hello,

I have been taking Yasmin for about 4 months now. Two days ago, I went to take my pill and I dropped it and couldn't find it anywhere!! I looked for a while, but I just couldn't find it. So, I just skipped that day. Is that okay? I'm not sure if I should just start over or what. I know the instructions say if you miss a day just to Double up the next day, but I don't have the pill! Also, should I use a back up contraceptive? any advice would help. thanks!!

Hi irishgirl, welcome!

You could have taken a second pill the day of the lost one, but that would have changed your start day. Since you missed a pill you should use back-up for 7 days. I think you will be ok. Some women keep a spare pack of pills on hand for occasions such as that.

Good luck
