Is Pregnancy Possible While On Yasmin Contraceptive Pills?

I took my contraceptive pill Yasmin due to excessive drinking vomited half an hour later, then had unprotected sex. After realizing I was not protected I took another Yasmin pill within a few hours of the sex and went to the chemist and got the morning after pill and took that. Am i protected? Am I likely to get pregnant? Will i take my next pill as normal? I feel like I’m going to puke and it’s 24hours since I consumed alcohol

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pregnancy is unlikely. Yasmin is a hormonal contraceptive pill (contains two hormones, Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol) if taken properly is up to 99% effective in preventing an unwanted pregnancy.

Since you had vomited within half an hour after taking the pill and the fact that you took another pill straight away and also had the morning after pill later, the chances of pregnancy are almost nil. Continue taking the next pill at your regular time.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
