Everyone seems so helpful on this board, so hopefully someone can give me some reassurance and answer my question(s).
I'm about to finish my second pack of Yasmin -- I started the white/inactive pills on Sunday, the 1st of April. I think I missed a pill once or twice on the first pack, but I changed the time I took them with the second and as far as I can remember I was fine (I think I took one pill a few hours late).
My question is -- Can you get pregnant while taking the inactive pills?
Maybe this is a silly question, but I just want to be sure. I was with my boyfriend this weekend for the first time in a while, and Sunday morning through afternoon was full of quality "alone time." I took my last active pill at 1 PM on Saturday and started the first inactive on Sunday, just to clarify. There was no actual penetration unprotected, but he was at one point in that area unprotected. I've heard so many horror stories about getting pregnant through outercourse and precum that I think I'm worrying myself over being protected through the pill. I think the name "inactives" and "placebos" tricks my mind into thinking I'm not protected anymore. Is that true?

if you've taken the rest of your pack correctly and start the next pack within 7 days you are perfectly safe during your placebo pills.
