Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
Having light periods and dark brownish menses are some common side effects of birth control pills like Yasmin. Although birth control pills are not 100% effective, pregnancy should not b thought of in the first place. I would suggest you continue with your pills and if you have a doubt, you can always do home pregnancy test to be clarified.
I hope that answers your query. If you have more questions or any follow up query do not hesitate to write to us.
I wish you well
