Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had unprotected sex, and I am not sure whether we did an ejaculation or not. Suddenly, I took four Yasmin pills on the spot today. Am I safe from unwanted pregnancy? I need your urgent advice. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are trying the Yuzpe method. In this, a woman uses birth control pills as emergency contraception (EC) every day. By combining pills in a specific order, the estrogen and progestin present in those pills work to prevent an unplanned pregnancy before it starts. This method is most effective when used within 72 hours after having unprotected sex. To follow the Yuzpe method, you should take your birth control pills (Yasmin) in two doses, 12 hours apart. Each dose has four pills. So you should retake four pills after 12 hours to complete the regimen and then in the next 48 to 72 hours, you can expect a withdrawal bleed.
