I'm really worried now, for the first time last night I had sex without a condom whilst on the pill. It says in the leaflet to take the pill at the aprox same time every day.
I find this hard to do as i normally forget! But I have never missed a pill and i always take it from between 5pm and 11pm each day.
Is this okay?
Please someone put my mind at rest!!!!!!

Yasmin is a very good brand birth control. It is 99% effective as long as you take it every day. It drops to more like 90% if you miss a day and 60% if you miss more than one day.
It is 99.9% effective if you take it at the exact same time every day. Chances of you getting pregnant if you take it within 5 hours of the time the day before are slim to none. Don't worry about it you are not pregnant!
Don't have sex if you miss a day or two!!!!

That's NOT okay, any medication should be taken at the same time each day... Or at least 1 hour BEFORE/1 hour AFTER the usual time.. You aren't taking it properly and are risking getting yourself pregnant.. If you are truly serious about NOT getting pregnant then definetly use a back-up birth control method a condom if you are with multiple partners or VCF which is a vaginal contraceptive film that is inserted into the vagina prior to intercourse and is fairly undectectable... They are found at most major drugstores as well as planned parenthood clinics.. They are inexpensive- about a $1 per film and last 7 hrs.. Good luck

you must take it at the exact same time everyday, like if you take it at 5 pm, then take it at that time everyday. i know cuz im on it too. If i miss one and take it late, I feel rly sick the next day and stuff. and dont worry, you'll be fine. the pill is one of the most effective contraceptives out there. oh, and it only works if you take it at the same time, those long gaps may make it be not effective at all.

you know i'm bad at taking medicine on a scedule i tend to forget alot just like you. but you can't forget your yasmin pill. my doctor told me it is a must to take the pill within the same hour everyday...either an hour before or an hour after. although i do miss that hour sometimes i haven' gotten pregnant yet still be very careful......

That's way too long a gap. It should normally be like an hour either way from when you normally take it. You're seriously jeaporizing the effectiveness of it by taking it at such a varying time frame.

You are ok, they just say dont take it one day at 8 am and then the next at 11pm, etc. Just try to keep it as close in time as possible

my doctor told me when i used to take Yaz that the first time you take it you start on the day you start your period. After that you just constantly take them. make sure its the same time everyday.
