I was prescribed Yasmin a month ago by my doctor, and about a week and a half after taking the pill (I didn't miss any, and I took each of them at the same time every night), I had unproctected sex. I searched the questions here and found that different people said that it takes two to six weeks for the pill to take full effect. However, on the official Yasmin site and the information packet that came with the pills it says the pill takes effect only after one week. Is it possible that I have may have become pregnant because I didn't wait long enough?

When I took Yasmin I read on the information that came with it that if you skip a pill or start on Yasmin you need to do a full month (or up till your next period) before you can have sex safely.
Many other pills do take effect after one week (even if you skip a pill you only need to wait a week to have sex) but as far as I know this does not apply to Yasmin.
Check with your doctor but I'm pretty sure you have to wait the month.

It should take affect after 1 week but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say..
