How does Yasmin pill work?

Contraceptive pills, such as the Yasmin pill, work by

• Preventing an egg from being delivered by the ovaries.
• Thickening the mucus at the womb's entrance makes it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg and fertilize it.
• Changing the lining of the womb makes it more difficult for a fertilized egg to attach to it and grow, causing it to pass naturally out of the body.

How should the emergency contraceptive pill be taken?

Normally, you take one pill every day at the same time for 21 days, followed by a seven-day pill break.

• The pills are sold in strips of 21 pills, each labeled with a different day of the week. Take the pill labeled with the correct weekday and follow the arrows on the strip. Take one pill per day until all 21 pills have been consumed. If necessary, swallow each pill whole with water. This is the most known calendar method of family planning.
• Then, for the next seven days, you do not take any pills. You should experience a withdrawal bleed, similar to a period bleed, within a few days of taking the last pill of your 21-day cycle.
• Following the 7-day pill break, you restart the cycle with a new strip of pills. So, if you take your last pill on a Saturday, you'll begin another 21-day pill cycle the following week on Sunday. When it's time to start your next strip of pills, your withdrawal bleed may not have finished. That's fine, and you should proceed with the next strip as planned.
• You don't need to use any additional contraception during the 7-day pill break as long as you've taken all of your pills correctly and started the new strip on time – this is critical for staying protected.
