You should have informed the doctor or pharmacist of ALL drugs you are taking (including Yasmin).
I would just play it safe and use condoms until you are done with the medicine.
It has been known that antibiotics out do the bc. I don't know why, but it's how 2 of my friends have gotten pregnant. So, tell your boy to wrap it up!
As far as your period, you should start it regularly.
The antibiotics should come with a paper of recommendations,suggesting you use another form of birth control,since when you are taking antibiotics, it can make your BC less effective.
I have often heard that antibiotics do interfere with birth control products, alcohol use lessens the effectiveness of the antibiotic, use extra protection to be safe.
