Missed birth control
I forgot to have my birth control pill Yasmin at my scheduled time of 10pm yesterday and had it in the morning at 8AM today when I remembered. My periods are absolutely regular and I have been using Yasmin for more than a year. My next period starts in 12 days and I have an exact 28 day cycle. Will this be a problem? Should I be using alternative methods of contraception till my next period?

Whether you are trying to clear up your skin , regularise your period s or ease disruptive and painful PMS, keep in mind that hormonal birth control pills which you are taking are only masking the symptoms and are not solving the problem.  Your body is actually trying to tell you something! And these pills are not free of side effects. The synthetic estrogen in birth control pills can cause short term side effects like GI upset, mood swings, irregular bleeding or spotting. And even scarier than the “mild” side effects are the serious health risks that accompany birth control pills. These include: Increased risk of cervical and breast cancers Increased risk of heart attack and stroke Migraines Higher blood pressure Gallbladder disease Infertility Benign liver tumors Decreased bone density Yeast overgrowth and infection Increased risk of blood clotting Cancer, heart disease, stroke, infertility.  Surely these side effects make birth control pills a less than desirable option for contraception, and even less desirable for masking acne, period problems and pcod. Good news is that all your problems  can be totally  reversed , not by masking the symptoms  with pills but by addressing  the underlying  cause of the problem and healing it from the ROOT cause.
