I have been using birth control Yasmin 21 for some months, and just started new pack. I realized I started earlier one day. Means I only had 6 days pills off (Placebo period) instead of 7 as it supposed to be. My question, should I add 1 pill and take 22 pills instead of 21? Or I can take 21 pills as normally ? If I take 21 pills then my starting day will change into Saturday instead of Sunday as I normally have. Please help with answer.
Thank you

Just keep taking them as they come in the pack and your start day will be one day earlier. It is better to start one day early than one day late! No worries, it doesnt affect anything other than changing your start day. Just take the normal 21 days of active pills and seven days off and start your next pack on the same day as you did this time-Saturday rather than Sunday. This is the reason I prefer women to be on a 28 day pack. It is easier to keep track because you take one pill a day every day!
