What is oral contraception?
These are pills comprising of specific female hormones that stop a woman from getting pregnant. The contraceptive tablets come in two main types:
The combined oral contraception pill (COC), also referred to as “the pill.” It contains two hormones, namely progesterone and oestrogen. This effective form of contraception works in three simple ways:
- It stops you from producing an egg.
- It makes it harder for sperm to enter the womb.
- Thins the womb lining, making egg implantation less likely.
You normally take one pill every day for three weeks when taking a combined pill. You can then give yourself a one-week break when having a monthly period.
The second one is a progesterone-only pill (POP), also called the “mini-pill.” It contains only progesterone. POPs works in two ways:
- It stops you from producing an egg.
- It makes it harder for sperm to enter the womb.
- If you use a mini-pill, you will take a single tablet a day without a break.
