Hi
i recently started on yasmin (24 July 2009), on my third week, on the 08, 09, & 10 Aug 2009 i missed the pills because i have been sick and forgot to take them, however i had uprotected sex. On the 11 i had withdrawal bleeding, the doctor gave me antibiotics and told me to follow the 7 days rule and the hpt came out negative which i think it was so because it was early to tell if i am pregnant or not. how soon can i get back on the pill or should i wait till i know for sure if i am pregnant or not. has anyone experieced this or am i the only one.

Hi Thando,
You are right, if you had unprotected sex on the 8th, 9th, and 10th and then tested for pregnancy on or around the 11th, then it would be too soon to tell. However, today is the 13th of August so you should be getting another period this week or the next. You can stop taking the pills until then BUT once you resume taking them you should be using a condom for the first week, just as you did the very first time you started taking the pill.
If you had a regular period in July, then chances are you may not be pregnant. Keep us posted and good luck!
