Switch from Yasmin to Yasminelle after the 7 day break, is there a risk?

Hello,
I have been using Yasmin for 6 months now, My gyn changed me to Yasminelle but did not say anything about taking it right after the next day my package of Yasmin was over. I waited the 7 day break and took the pill when I was suppose to take the new package of Yasmin, but I took Yasminelle instead. My period started the 19th of April, and finished the 22 of April (Wednesday)
Then, I had unprotected sex only on Saturday 22th of April, (three days after my period). Is there a risk to be pregnant? I read that you have to wait one week to have unprotected sex, so I did not had anymore after Saturday and waited until one week after. But is it relevant? even though I was not in my fertile days?

You did it perfectly. Your protection was maintained. You don't have a wait if you do it right. You do not have fertile periods when you are on the pill. You do not ovulate.

Thank you for your answer KaisMama, I was just wondering if there were any risks if I didnt started the day after I finish my Yasmin pills, that I waited for seven days for my period and then took Yasminelle instead of Yasmin. In the pharmacy they said there was risk but it was weird for me thta my gyn did not say anything!
