Do Yasmeen Pills Prevent Pregnancy?
my husband and i had an unsafe sex just this morning (the condom has a leak)...i stopped taking pills 7 months already...and i still don't have my period for 4 months.we went to an oby late this afternoon to seek help..since we are not planning to have a second baby yet..we told her that i want to start taking pills again to prevent pregnancy but i can't since i still dont have my period yet..she prescribed me duphaston to take 2x a day (morning & evening,after meal) for 5 days..and to wait another 5 days for my period to start. on the day the bleeding starts,i will start using the yasmine pills...pls help if it does give big chances to prevent pregnancy.i already took one this evening.thanks

Hi , I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Duphastone is progesterone which helps in pregnancy, and yasmin will not help you to prevent pregnancy, if you take it after the sexual act.
To prevent pregnancy, you should take emergency contraception within72 hours, I pill or unwanted72.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
