Buy Yasmin Pills Online UK

Yasmin is a brand name for a combined contraceptive pill. In the UK, there is a generic version of Yasmin available called Lucette. Lucette contains the same active ingredients as Yasmin.

Yasmin pills effectively prevents ovulation, which is necessary to avoid pregnancy. This combined pill contains two different female hormones, namely drospirenone (progestin) and ethinylestradiol (estrogen).

It is a monophasic COC (Combined Oral Contraceptive), meaning it contains slightly more estrogen than the other birth control options thus having higher chances of more side effects.

The other  active tablets contain the same dose of hormones while Yasmin, a popular brand, offers a different hormonal composition with a lower risk of certain side effects.

How to take Yasmin?

Yasmin prescription is taken as one tablet a day, around the same time for 21 days before having a break of 4 -7 days {called a stop or gap week}. Withdrawal bleeding starts on the 2nd or 3rd day of the gap week. 

After the gap week, you should start your dose again, whether bleeding or not. This means that you should start every strip of the medication on the same day of the week and the withdrawal bleeding should occur on the same days each month.

When Yasmin is used in this manner it protects you from pregnancy even in the 7 days break. If necessary, one should take Yasmin with a small amount of water. The pill can be taken with or without food.

One can also take Yasmin in the following ways:

Continuous use: Continuous use is when you take one pill daily without a break.

Flexible extended use: Flexible extended use is where you take one pill daily for at least 21 days. In case you get uncomfortable bleeding you can take a 7-day break. On the 8th day start taking the pill daily again and avoid another break for at least 21 days.

Tricycling: Take 1 pill daily for 9 weeks without a break. After 9 weeks {3 packs of pills} take a 4- or 7-day break and then start the cycle again.

How does Yasmin work? 

The two hormones contained in Yasmin: drospirenone {a progestin} and ethinylestradiol {an estrogen} work together to prevent pregnancy by:

• Thickening cervical mucus to block sperm movement.
• Suppressing ovulation which is the release of an egg from the ovary.
• Creating an unfriendly environment for the fertilized egg by changing the lining in the uterus {womb}.

The birth control pill is 99% capable of protecting you from getting pregnant. Ensure to use a condom when engaging in sexual activity since the tablets don't protect you from getting STI.

About Ovulation 

Ovulation is a natural process in a woman's menstrual cycle where a mature egg is released from the ovary, ready for fertilization.

This usually occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle, approximately 14 days before the start of the next period, (around day 14 in a 28-day cycle.)

Ovulation is triggered by hormonal changes, particularly a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), which causes the egg to be released from the follicle on the ovary's surface.

If sperm fertilizes the egg during this time, conception and pregnancy can occur.

About oral contraception

Oral contraception, also known as ‘the pill’ is a tablet taken by women to prevent pregnancy. There are many different types of the pill, which use synthetic hormones, such as oestrogen and progesterone to prevent pregnancy. This can be in 1 of 3 ways:

1. They stop ovulation, so an egg is not released from the ovaries.
2. They thicken a woman’s cervical mucus, making it harder for the sperm to reach the egg.
3. They make a woman's womb inhospitable to stop a fertilised egg from attaching to the lining of the uterus.

Oral contraceptive pills are normally taken once daily at the same time each day. For the pill to have maximum effect, it must be taken at the same time each day. This is particularly important for certain contraceptive pills, which must be taken in a 3 hour window for them to be effective at all.

Most contraceptive pills involve a 21 day period of taking the pill, followed by a 7 day break. Whereas others are taken continuously.

You should never take a contraceptive pill that has not been prescribed for you by your doctor, and you must have a pill review at least once a year, which includes a blood pressure test.

Here at Ashcroft Pharmacy, we are able to supply repeat oral contraception to women that have had the same contraception previously prescribed for them.

Benefits of oral contraception include:

• Easy and convenient contraceptive method
• Highly effective in preventing pregnancy
• Lighter periods and also less cramping, bloating, and irritability that are often associated with normal menstruation
• Does not interfere with sexual intercourse
• May provide some protection from pelvic inflammatory disease which, if left untreated, can lead to infertility.
• Clear up hormonal acne.
