How serious is missing one pill - yasmin? Could I conceive?

Have realised (post-sex of course!)that I missed my pill on Friday so went 48 hrs rather than 24 between pills. Does anyone know if this is sufficient to cause ovulation? I took two pills on the day I realised I'd missed the previous day's one. It's the start of the third week of a 21-day packet.

The Yasmin instructions say use condoms etc (too late now!) but elsewhere on the net i see conflicting advice - some places say you only have to worry if you miss 2 pills! Anyone?

Not a big deal.

Your placebo period is 7 days remember, so as long as you have taken 4 days of active pills in a row before skipping one you are safe.

I think you're ok to miss up to 3 a month???
Should still take the missed pill asap.

Cheers I took it when I remembered - 24hrs late!
