The Birth Control “Pill”

Among the most common forms of birth control is “The Pill”. The pill is a hormonal birth control method that uses the hormones estrogen and progestin to stop the natural release of an egg from a female’s ovary. While birth control pills are highly effective in eliminating the chances of pregnancy, they can be less effective when not taken as prescribed by medical professionals, such as skipping or forgetting pills.

While Barrier methods may be less effective, they are beneficial to the natural reproductive system in women and do not affect future fertility.
