I am taking Cryselle birth control and had sex with a male who claims to have had a vasectomy a long time ago. Am I protected against pregnancy, especially if I took my birth control pill one hour late yesterday?

I’ll be using Yasmin 21-day birth control pills. I’m confused about when to start them for both health (iron deficiency) and protection. My gynecologist said to start on the 5th day of my period and after finishing the pack, wait for 5 days before starting a new one. However, other doctors suggest starting on the 1st or 2nd day for more protection or waiting for 7 days. How should I use Yasmin properly for both health and protection?
