Can taking Yasmin tablet effect the menstrual cycle?
Patient: hi I took yasmin tablets on Thursday 21st after having intercourse and still continuing but wasn t sure if it would have worked so I took postinor 2 sd on Friday 22nd and my periods is supposed to come on the 30th what can I do to make sure that it comes on time and should I stop taking the yasmin? Doctor: Hello,I have gone through your query and understood the concern. As you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill soon after the intercourse, you are amply protected. Also, if you are in the safe period of your menstrual cycle, you are naturally protected. The use of the regular hormone contraception can be continued if you wish in future, but, there is no need in this cycle if you are using it only as prevention from that act. Your next natural period can get delayed by a week or two since the emergency pill contains excess hormone. Please see a doctor if you become overdue by 10 days. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,Dr. Shanti Vennam
