If while taking Yasmin you forget to take a yellow pill, take the medication as soon as you remember. Your next dose should then be taken at its regularly scheduled time. You can take more than one pill in a day using this plan.
If you forgot two yellow pills during week one or week two, take both when you remember. You may also take three pills at your next scheduled dose, or take two pills each at your next two scheduled doses. You are more likely to ovulate, so you should take extra precautions and use another form of birth control for seven days.
If you forgot two yellow pills during the third week, or if you forgot three pills at any other time, you must throw away your current package of pills and start a new one right away if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, continue using the current package of pills until Sunday, then throw it away and start a new one. You should not have a period during this month, but take a home pregnancy test if you do not have one next month.
