How to Avoid Unwanted Pregnancies
Nearly 19 million American women are on birth control pills today to stop unwanted or unplanned pregnancies.
Birth control pills are reproductive hormones which have been intensively tested and finally approved in 1960 by FDA. However, birth control pills have different levels of hormones and will be suitable for women according to their health. Birth control pills are highly effective and they can stop 99% pregnancy.
How Does It Work?
Most birth control pills are combination of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle). The Pill also works by thickening the mucus around the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach any eggs that may have been released. The hormones in the Pill can also sometimes affect the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for an egg to attach to the wall of the uterus.
Most birth control pills come in 21, 28 or 91 day pack. Depending on your pack, you will either stop taking birth control pills for 7 days (as in the 21-day pack) or you will take a pill that contains placebo or iron for 7 days (the 28-day pack) or in some 28 pack like Yaz and Loestrine 24 Fe contain 24 days of hormones and four days of placebo pills, usually resulting in a shorter period.
There is a type of pills that decreases the frequency of a woman's period by supplying a hormone pill for 3 months (Seasonale).
Another kind of pill called the mini-pill. This type of birth control pill contains one type of hormone progesterone. It may be slightly less effective at preventing pregnancy than combination pills.
Any type of birth control pill works best when it is taken every day at the bedtime, regardless of whether a girl is going to have sex.
Taking any medications or herbal supplements that might interfere with contraceptives. For example, antibiotics or an herb like St. John's wort can interfere with the effectiveness of the Pill.
