Okay, so I have been on Yasmin for about 5 months. I started my new pack this week and on Tuesday had sex with my b/f. He came inside of me. Could I get pregnant? I was supposed to start them a week ago but my mail order got messed up.

Are you saying that you had two weeks between hormones instead of one? If that is the case, you are at risk of pregnancy in the first seven days back on hormones if you don't use a backup method, regardless of how long you've been taking BCP in the past.

You should likely call your doctor & see what they say... emergency contraception could be an option at this point.

Good Luck!

Hi windprincess2004, welcome!

I agree with happyjusttwo! If you went 2 weeks with no hormones that you are definitely at risk. If you haven't already called your doctor or Planned Parenthood please do it now. EC is most effective if taken within the first 72 hours after the encounter of concern. The PP clinic locator is: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/Zip.htm Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
