- Most birth control pills are "combination pills" containing a mix of the hormones
estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation. A woman cannot get pregnant if she
doesn't ovulate because there is no egg to be fertilized.

progestin alone, or a progestin and an estrogen together, that stop your body
from releasing eggs and thickens the mucus at the cervix.
You need one shot either once every month or once every three months from a
healthcare provider. However once injected, it is not reversible
4. CONTRACEPTIVE PATCH - The birth control patch is a thin, beige, 1¾-inch

(4½-centimeter) square patch that sticks to the skin. It is worn on the
lower abdomen, buttocks, or upper body. It releases hormones through the skin into
the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy.
You put on a new patch once a week for three weeks. During the fourth week, you
do not wear a patch, so you can have a menstrual period.
