I am on currently taken yaz birth control. I have always taken my pills faithfully and just recently missed two pills. I missed tuesdays pill and had sex wednesday morning but my boyfriend withdrew before ejaculating. I also missed wednesdays pill and had sex wednesday night and he withdrew again. I realized this morning i skipped tuesday and wednesday as i took both pills. Should i take the morning after pill just to be safe? I dont want to get preg are my chances real high since i missed two pills?

It all depends on how long you have been taking the pill, I wouldnt worry, you should be fine. next time be more careful

Ahhh yes the "withdrawl" method for which we don't account the pre-ejaculate which in most cases is actually more potent as it carries more sperm than actual ejaculate per centimeter. If you don't want to get pregnant why are you having unprotected sex? Are you not aware that birth control pills are NOT 100%effective even when taken "properly"? And keep in mind that the world's population of women is in the BILLIONS and that even 1% of those BILLIONS is going to be in the millions so you could stand a very good chance at being pregnant. I'm living proof that the pill is not 100% effective, I've had two pregnancies more than 10 years apart on the pill and I never missed a day, took it same time every single day. (besides pills do nothing to protect you from STDS, HIV and HPV...with HIV and HPV your partner might not know he/she has them as they more often than not do not present for 10-15 years upon contracting the diseases. So you could be exposing yourself to HIV and HPV every time you have sex.)

It depends where you are in your cycle as to whether or not you have a greater chance of getting pregnant. I would check with my doctor as to the morning after pill, from what I understand, it is just a mega dose of birth control. If that is the case, taking your two missed birth controls at once might possibly have the same effect as the morning after pill.

Your probably okay. I have done the same thing a few times. I don't think that it would hurt to take the morning after pill if you can get your hands on one! (better safe than sorry) When I miss pills I just take them the next day. In your case I would take Today's pill with Tuesdays pill then tomorrow take Fridays pill with Tuesdays pill. I do it all the time it may delay your period for a day,but its fine to do!

Why did you have sex if you knew you had missed a pill! The info leaflet that comes with the pill will tell you the procedure to follow. I have been told that missing 2 of the full strength pill like Yasmin or Brenda is OK so long as you take them as soon as you remember - but you're playing with fire.
The morning after pill is horrible (from my own experience, Ive taken it twice). So prevention is better than cure in this case, I felt like I was dying when I took the morning after pill so I wouldn't take it again unless absolutely necessary.

Take the moring after pill, between 0 and 48 hours after sex. So i guess you are late for that but i advice you to do so anyway.
And about pulling out before ejaculating, that is not helpful, sperm escapes during sex also, not ad many as when ejaculating but enough to get pregnant anyway.

when i missed a pill i wasnt told before hand that i should have had the morning after pill and when i went to the docs because i had missed periods he then told me i should have taken it so if i was you i would take the morning after pill.
good luck
