HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Oral contraceptive pills such as yasmin are highly effective (99%) at preventing pregnancy when used appropriately.

Women commonly forget to take the pill some days or make take it a little later than normal as happened with you.
By taking the forgotten pill the next day along with the pill that was due for that day, you should still have been covered.

If you had forgotten for 2 days straight then your contraceptive cover would not have been adequate.

Pregnancy tests can normally detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception. If this time had passed when you took the test , it can be considered accurate.
If this time has not passed you may want to either consider an early detection kit or a blood HCG level , these can detect lower levels of the pregnancy hormone ,HCG.

You should rule out pregnancy before restarting the pills especially if your periods are normally regular.

I hope this helps
