Birth control pill is the most popular and effective birth control method.
Different brands of pill are available for birth control.
However, they usually come in packs of twenty-one or twenty-eight pills.
The birth control pill is a synthetic form of the hormones progesterone and estrogen.
Birth control pills stop ovulation by maintaining more consistent hormone levels. Without an increase in estrogen level, the ovary doesn’t get the signal to release an egg.
Thus, prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. Birth control pills are 99.7% effective in preventing pregnancy.
Consult your doctor before you start taking birth control pills. You can start using the pills from the first day of your menstrual period or the first day after an abortion.
The pills should be taken one for each day till you finish your entire pack. However, if you miss taking a pill for one day, start taking as soon as you remember and continue with the next pill at usual time.
Birth Control Pill – Alesse
Alesse is one of the most effective birth control pill that is used worldwide for preventing pregnancy. It contains hormones that prevent the ovary from releasing an egg and stops the sperm from entering the uterus.
It is recommended to maintain a gap of 24 hours between each tablet. Better take the pill at nights to reduce the risk of having nausea or headache (if any) that you may experience due to the hormones.
Ortho Tri Cyclen
Ortho Tri Cyclen, a birth control pill that provides a low daily dose of hormones in your body to prevent pregnancy. It contains a combination of female hormones that stops the process of ovulation.
It is most effective in making changes in the cervical mucous and uterine lining, which, in turn, makes it harder for the sperm to enter the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to join the uterus.
Seasonale
Seasonale is a kind of prescription birth control pill that is taken orally to prevent pregnancy. It should be taken one for each day. With the use of this pill, you will have only four menstrual periods per year, a radical change when compared to the menstrual period that occur with other birth control pills.
Yasmin
Yasmin is the most recent low-dose birth control pill, which is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The effectiveness of this pill is 99 percent when used correctly. It works in the same way as other birth control pills.
Even this should be taken one for each day for three weeks, followed by seven placebo pills that should be taken throughout the week for getting regular menstrual period. It is the only birth control pill that provides drospirenone (the synthetic progestin), which is an alternative for the adverse effects that you experience from other oral birth control pills.
The health risks associated with birth control pills are blood clots, stroke and heart attack. Remember, cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious side effects.
It is highly recommended to stop taking the pills and discuss with your doctor if you suspect pregnancy or vaginal bleeding.

Hi shruthi
You need to take another pill 12 hours after taking the first pill. When you use the pills as directed in prescription, it will reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 89%. The effectiveness depends on the interval between intercourse and start of the treatment. Your period date will vary slightly, because of taking the pills.

The reasons you started smoking are probably not around anymore. You don’t need to act cool, be swayed by peer pressure, cope with teen emotions, or do what grown-ups or stars do. So stop smoking today.Health is not everything, but without health, everything else is nothing.
