What are Oral Contraceptives Pills?
The Oral Contraceptives pills is a daily pill that contains the hormones estrogen
and progesterone that prevent pregnancy (also called the Pill).
How they Work?
Most Oral Contraceptives pills contain the combination of the hormones estrogen and
progesterone to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly
cycle). If a woman doesn't ovulate she cannot get pregnant because there is
no egg to be fertilized.
One type of Oral Contraceptives pills, known as the Minipill, contains only the
hormone progesterone. Although progesterone alone may prevent ovulation, this
may not occur reliably every month. The Minipill also works by thickening the
mucous around the cervix, which prevents the sperm from entering the uterus.
It also affects the lining of the uterus so if the egg is fertilized it
cannot attach to the wall of the uterus.
The combination pills comes in either a 21-day pack or a 28-day pack. One
hormone pill is taken each day at about the same time for 21 days. Depending
on your pack, you will stop taking pills for 7 days or you will take a
reminder pill (that contains no hormones) for 7 days. A woman has her period
when she stops taking the pills with hormones. Some women prefer the 28-day
pack because it helps them stay in the habit of taking a pill every day.
The Pill works best when it is taken every single day at the same time of
day, regardless of whether you are going to have sex. This is especially
important with progesterone-only pills. You should not take a friend's or
sister's pills. If pills are skipped or forgotten, you are not protected
against pregnancy and backup Oral Contraceptives, such as condoms, must be used.
How well the pills work?
Over the course of one year about five out of 100 typical couples who rely on
the Pill to prevent pregnancy will have an accidental pregnancy. Of course,
this is an average figure and the chance of getting pregnant depends on
whether you take your Oral Contraceptives pills every day. The Pill is an effective
form of Oral Contraceptives, but even missing 1 day increases the chance of getting
pregnant.
In general, how well each type of Oral Contraceptives method works depends on a lot
of things. These include whether a person has any health conditions or is
taking any Medss that might interfere with its use. It also depends on
whether the method chosen is convenient - and whether the person remembers to
use it correctly all the time.
Cigarette smoking
increases the risk of serious side effects from oral contraceptives,
including heart attacks, blood clots, and strokes. This risk is higher for
women over 35 years old and heavy smokers (15 or more cigarettes per day). If
you take oral contraceptives, you should not smoke.
