Yes! You are Pregnant! Go push yourself down the stairs
:) bahaha...
No, you can't... if you are taking the colored pills correctly. This is just so you get your period. If you take NO white pills and instead open a new pack of the colored Yaz pills, you won't get a period until you take the placebo. A lot of women do this if they have a vacation coming up and don't want to be menstruating, for example. It's all part of the cycle, and if you take all your pills regularly as advised, the effectiveness works ALL month, including during sugar pills and menstruation. You still aren't ovulating, so no pregnancy.
I don't take Yaz. I take Ortho Evra 777 and I think there is a slight chance you can still become pregnant while taking the inactive pills. I think they recommend a second form of contraceptives while your taking them that week.
You can get pregnant on ANY of the pills.
Birth control is ONLY 99% safe, so you can get pregnant ANY TIME you have sex.
YES. Placebo means that it's nothing more than a sugar pill. There aren't hormones in that pill -- which basically means you're not on birth control during those days. You should use back up contraception (i.e. a condom) during that time and for a few days into your next pack of pills.
As long as you take your pills correctly you have a 99% chance of not getting pregnant. The placebo pills are given to you to allow your body to have a period. You need that week without hormones in order to have a period. Birth control pills by preventing ovulation. You will not ovulate during the time you take the placebos.
