Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had sex five days before my period and took four Yasmin pills a day after and another four 12 hours later. I am one day late from my period. I wanted to know if I am pregnant. Can you please give me your opinion on this?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for writing in, and I understand your concern. Sex five days before period usually does not lead to pregnancy, moreover, you took eight Yasmin pills (Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) after the act, so you have no chance of pregnancy. The period is late due to the effects of hormones in Yasmin pills. Please wait for a week. You will get your periods.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

I also wanted to mention that I was on birth control. I used the Yasmin pill as emergency contraception.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your response.

I am two days late from my period, and I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and it was negative. Is it accurate, or am I just panicking for no reason? Would you please give me your opinion?

Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your pregnancy test is negative. The period is late due to the hormones contained in Yasmin pills (Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone). You will get your period anytime. Wait for five days more, and then if you do not get your periods, repeat the pregnancy test, it will most probably come negative too. But you should do it so that you can relax knowing that you are not pregnant. Pregnancy test if negative is accurate. You need not panic.

Regards.
