I am currently taking yasmin. i recently was sick with vomiting for two days in a row, i usually take my pill in the morning, when i first get up. So, i never got to keep the pill in my system no more than 3 hrs. those three days, so for those 2 days, at night i took and extra birth control pill of yasmin from an extra pack that i have, for 2 consective days, is this okay to do? or does taking 2 extra pills increase my likehood of getting pregnant?

Does anyone know of anyone getting pregnant on yasmin?

please help...

Hi moms2004, welcome!

It is necessary to keep a pill down for at least 2 hours for it to be digested so you did the right thing by taking another pill as soon as you felt you could keep it down. By taking the 2nd ones 12 hours late you effectively moved your pill time by 12 hours. There is a slight risk when you moved the time forward (more than 24 hrs. between pills) but none involved with returning your pill time to early morning (less than 24 hrs. between pills). Ideally, I would have use back-up for the next 7 days but I think you will probably be ok. I hope you are feeling much better now. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?

Good luck,
