    If you had been taking them already for the previous 4 months, and had just started the next pack, then you are most likely safe (no birth control is 100% effective). You are protected from one pack to the next if you take them as directed... without missing any.

    If you had been taking them for 4 months, stopped using birth control pills for awhile, and just started taking them again, then you have less protection after just 3 days. Ideally you are on them for about a week, if not longer, to gain the highest protection.

    Sir / Madam I continuously using the yasmin pills for 4-months after 7 day of finish the last pack I start to bleed and after that on the 4th days of my menstruation I started to take again the yasmin pills and on the 3rd day of taking the pills we had sex with my hubby. Now, I feel a little cramping on my stomach, it could be possible that could I be pregnant or I'm safe on the 3rd day of taking pills or maybe I'm just a paranoid, because some of my friend it could be possible that I could be pregnant. Is it true that I should wait for 7 days before having sexual intercourse? Please advice. And thank you in advance! And More power!

    There is no Safe, there is just less likely to be pregnant.
    Even taking the pills perfectly just like you are suppose to, you can get pregnant. They are not 100 percent.

    So could you be? Of course you can be.

    If you have been taking them as directed, then you are as safe as you can be while taking just the pill. Pregnancy is always possible, but not likely if you have been taking them as directed.

    You can always try a pregnancy test to ease your mind.
