I have been taking the contraceptive pill yasminelle for 4 years
Mid-cycle spotting appeared in the middle of taking the tablets
I take the pills every morning, I haven't missed any
Do I have reason to worry? Can I eliminate pregnancy?
And am I just as protected despite these stains?

Single spotting during the use of birth control pills can be, m.in the result of stress, infections or other medications.
If you have not used other medicines that may impair the effectiveness of contraception, there is no need to worry, you are protected.
If the situation recurs in subsequent cycles, then it is worth consulting your doctor to clarify the cause of spotting.
If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

If the pills are used correctly (regularly, no other medications that may impair their effectiveness are taken), the risk of pregnancy is about 1%.
You can check the availability of the tablets and make a reservation here:
