Will Yasmin Pills Help To Reduce Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hello, I had unprotected sex with my husband on the 11th day of my cycle. I live in a country where morning after pills are not sold, hence I had 2 Yasmin pills the next day (day 12 of cycle) and the day after that (which is today). I do not want to get pregnant as I have only delivered my 1st 3 months ago. I am not breast feeding and have started getting regular periods, my cycle is a 28 day one. Will this be sufficient to reduce chances of pregnancy? Is there anything else I can do?

Hello dear
Understand you concern
In your case, yasmin pill can not successfully reduce the chance of pregnancy as you did not take correct dose.
4 tablet of yasmin should be taken take as early as possible or with in 72 hours after sex and another 4 tablet should be taken after 12 hours.
If your period will be delayed by 8-10 days then you have to confirm the pregnancy by urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG. If pregnancy will come positive then still you can terminate the intrauterine pregnancy by mifepristone and misotpostol after getting expert opinion from the gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
