Any women who are on Yasmin (the pill)?

Question

I am just starting the pill and i have herd that you have to take it at the same time everyday. I was wondering if that was true, or if you could take it as long as its close to the same time, like within a few hours... thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Hi there. I've been on Yasmin for a couple of years now and have not had any problems with it. I think it definitely helps to take it around the same time everyday... for some reason, I take mine at noon. Now, it's not always right at 12... I try to take it between 12-1. But the more consistent you are with it, the better it works and reduces the risk of a pregnancy.

I want to add on after a few people have said there's no problem taking it at different times during the day... it just increases your risk of getting pregnant. By taking it the same time (or very close to it) it keeps the hormone levels steady. By taking it consistently at the same time every day, those hormones stay steady and your risk of getting pregnant decreases.

Answer 2

That is true for any pill not just Yasmin. The reason why they say to do it is because you get into the habit of it and its easier to remember. But there would not be any problem if you take it within fer hours of that time.

Answer 3

i believe that yasmin is the best birth control there is out right now..... as long as you take it within a few hours your fine but if you completley miss it i wouldn't have sex and it might cause spotting but other than that you'll be fine......... i took mine @ 10:00 pm every night give or take a few hours and i didn't get pregnant which i assume is good...........
