Effective birth control
The pill is the most accepted type of birth control. There are many different brands of the pill and they come in packs of 21 or 28 pills. One pill is to be taken every day. The first 21 pills have a blend of synthetic estrogen and progesterone hormones. The pill stops ovulation, preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs. The pill also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to go into the uterus. The hormones in the pill prevent fertilization. When started within 6 days of the start of a period or in 6 days after an abortion, the pill is effective immediately. If the pill is started at other times, it will be effective after one month. To subordinate the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, condoms can be used while taking the pills.
