    What is the Contraceptive Pill
    • The combined oral contraceptive pill is often just called "the pill". It
    contains artificial versions of female hormones oestrogen and
    progesterone, which are produced naturally in the ovaries. When
    taken correctly, it alters the menstrual cycle to eliminate ovulation
    and prevent pregnancy.
    Function and Use
    • The contraceptive pill works by stopping sperm from joining with an
    egg (called fertilization). The hormones in the pill stop ovulation. No
    ovulation means there's no egg around for sperm to fertilize, so
    pregnancy cannot occur. The pill's hormones also thicken the mucus
    on the cervix further making fertilization and eventual pregnancy
    even more unlikely.
    • The pills are taken orally once a day for around 21-28 days to achieve
    full contraception.
