I am taking the contraceptive pill Yasmin. I forgot to take it for 3 consecutive days after the 8th day of my cycle.

In case of forgetting to take 3 contraceptive pills in the second week of the cycle, it is recommended to take one pill as soon as possible and then take the next one at the usual time (even if it means taking two pills in one day). It is best to finish the active pills from the current pack, skip the placebo pills, and start a new pack the next day. Additionally, it is important to use additional contraception for 7 days if you engage in sexual activity.
