4 Yasmin pills within 24 hours of the unprotected sex, & then another 4 pills, 12 hours later.
This large dose of hormone, like with the emergency contraceptive pills, may cause you hormonal side effects, & your period could be early, late, lighter or heavier etc.

That is for emergency contraception after you've had sex. There are no guarantees, though, when it is used in that way.
