I am on Yasmin now for several years. I take it every day at the same time and my period arrives like clock work the last row of pills. Is that perfect use? I recently had sex with out a condom (I know this is not right, but got caught up in moment). How would I know if he came inside of me? I am totally relying on the BCP at this point. My period doesn't come for another 12 days. I am a little paranoid. Should I be?

Taking your pills on time (within +/-2 hrs. of your pill-time, for a combined pill such as Yasmin), not vomiting or having severe diarrhea within 2 hours after taking your pill and not taking meds. or supplements that might decrease the pills effectiveness is considered perfect use by this board. Yasmin is 98-99% effective if used correctly. If that level of effectiveness isn't good enough for you then you might consider IC without a condom to be 'not right' but millions of women use BCPs as their sole means of contraception and are very happy with it. I was on OTC for 3 years and never used condoms (unless I was on meds. that might reduce its effectiveness) and never had a scare.
If he ejaculated inside you there would have been more fluid discharge from your vagina after intercourse than you usually have when using condoms. I think if he finished and became flaccid before or shortly after withdrawal he almost certainly came inside you. If you have been taking your pills correctly I don't think you have anything to worry about. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
