I am on Yasmin birth control. I usually take it at 11am and am a Sunday starter. I forgot my pill yesterday and this morning but just remembered (around 8pm) and took 2. I am in week 1 of the pills. Will the pill work as contraception or not for this week? The instruction booklet is kind of confusing. Thanks

Hi starlight2036,

If you have missed 2 pills DO NOT rely on your pills to protect you until you have taken them correctly for at least 7 consecutive days! Use back-up in addition to your pills if you have IC for the 7 day period. Read "Taking your pills correctly" in the FAQ folder at the top of the board for tips about how to remember your pill-time.

Good luck,

      Jill
