What a wonderful forum!

I was hoping someone could answer a question that may seem ignorant or almost silly. BUT I can not seem to find the answer anywhere on the net...

I just started taking the Yasmin birth control pill and was curious, is it safe to have intercourse while on the white inactive pills?

MANY Thanks!

Hi xiiimoons, welcome!

As long as you have been taking your pills correctly: On time (within +/-2 hrs. of your regular pill time), not been sick and vomited or had diarrhea within 2 hours after taking your pill and haven’t been taking meds. or supplements that could reduce the effectiveness of your pills, then you should be quite safe. It is very important you go no more than 7 24-hour days between active pills during your placebo week. As long as you don’t extend your pill free interval you are still protected. Thanks for stopping by.

Good luck

      Jill

As long as you take the pill correctly before your period you are safe! :)
