Birth Control Pill
The birth control pill represents one of the most efficient contraceptive methods available. Women take it daily, and thanks to the combination of hormones, it prevents ovulation and the release of eggs. And it works as follows:
-It contains a combination of estrogen and progesterone, both inhibitors of the ovulation. Pregnancy cannot appear without ovulation.
-The birth control pill changes the consistency of the cervical mucus, thickening it and making it impossible for the spermatozoon to reach the womb.
-It modifies the lining in the uterus making it unsuitable for the implantation of the egg.
The birth control pill has to be taken daily, preferably at the same hour, for twenty one days. There is no administration for the last seven days of the menstrual cycle, and it is within this interval that the period appears. The pills are available either in 21 or in 28 pill packages. For the 28-pill package, the last seven pills are inactive, meaning that they contain no hormones at all.
