Pregnancy and Yarina: the possibility of getting pregnant during and after taking

To avoid unplanned pregnancy, women of childbearing age usually use oral contraceptives in the form of hormonal tablets. How much is this method reliable, and, for example, is pregnancy possible when taking Yarina - the popular birth control pills?

In Europe, the United States and Latin America, this is a monophasic contraceptive manufactured by Bayer Schering Pharma (GmbH AG), has the trade name Yasmin, and in France - Jasmine.

Pregnancy when taking Yarin

To assess the possibility of conceiving using these means of preventing conception, there is the Pearl Index used in clinical trials of the contraceptive efficacy of this group of drugs and calculated by the number of pregnancies in a hundred women who took them for 12 consecutive months. In Yarin's preparation this index is 0.57-0.9%, that is, the probability of pregnancy is less than 1%.

The principle of hormonal contraception with estrogen-progestational drugs is to suppress ovulation - the monthly process of rupture in the ovary of a mature follicle and exit into the fallopian tubes ready for fertilization of the egg. Also important is the blocking of concomitant ovulation in reducing the viscosity of mucus in the cervical canal.

Pregnancy when taking Yarina and other hormonal contraceptives can occur when a woman violates the rules for their use. Therefore, you need to carefully study the instructions to the drug and clearly follow its instructions.

According to the instructions, the drug Yarin is taken daily for three weeks (21 days) - one tablet, and at the same time, to provide the right concentration of active substances to achieve adequate suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian regulation within 24 hours . At the end of three weeks it is necessary to do a 7-day break (during which there are similar to menstruation bloody discharge, the so-called bleeding cancellation). And when this does not happen, it can be associated with fertilization and the onset of pregnancy

As a rule, pregnancy may occur when taking Yarina in the following cases:

• ignoring additional "safe" methods of contraception in the form of barrier means (for example, a condom) during the first 14 days after the start of Jarin tablets;
• missed receipt of another tablet, provided that after the previous intake more than 12 hours have passed;
• skipping two or more doses of the drug for one week;
• occurrence within 3-4 hours after taking a tablet of severe vomiting or diarrhea (then the absorption of the drug may be partial, so this case can be considered as a missed pill);
• the use of alcohol, which neutralizes the action of the active components of the drug;
• parallel treatment with penicillin and tetracycline antibiotics, barbiturates, sorbents or enzyme preparations (since the degree of intestinal absorption of synthetic analogues of estrogen and progesterone in such cases is significantly reduced).

Application of Yarin during pregnancy

Obviously, it does not require clarification that the use of Yarina during pregnancy is prohibited.

But a woman may not know about pregnancy and continue taking birth control pills. As soon as the fact of pregnancy is confirmed, the taking of Yarin's drug, as well as of other hormonal contraceptives, is stopped.

It is believed that in such situations, women have nothing to fear, and pregnancy is normal. However, studies on animals carried out by Western specialists have shown that it is impossible to exclude the undesirable effects caused by the hormonal action of the active substances of these drugs during pregnancy. Although to date there is no evidence of a teratogenic effect of combined oral contraceptives on the pregnancy of women.

Pregnancy after the abolition of Yarina

When does pregnancy occur after Yarina's withdrawal? Once the normal process of maturation of the follicle in the ovary and ovulation is renewed, that is, a couple of months after stopping the taking of the tablets.

But gynecologists note that many factors influence the fertilization process of the egg cell, including individual features of the female body, their overall hormonal background and fertility level. So pregnancy after Yarina's cancellation can come literally right away or after a longer period of time. And if the planned pregnancy does not occur more than six months after stopping the use of hormonal contraceptives, you should consult a doctor and undergo the appropriate medical examination.
