The Combined Contraceptive Pill is the most popular Birth control method in the world with perfect use. It can be up to 99.9% effective contraceptive pills.   


Our hormonal Birth Control Options that work to stop the egg and sperm eating. So they can't be fertilized. Most pills are taken in a cycle every day for three weeks and then stopping for a week.   

The aim of Birth Control Options are to prevent the egg and sperm from devouring one other. As a result, they are unable to be fertilized.


As well as thickening your cervical mucus to help prevent sperm from joining the egg they also prevent the lining of your womb from thickening so a fertilized egg would not be able to implant into it the progesterone.

A combination of birth control pills can cause some side effects such as:

·         Breakthrough bleeding or spotting more common with continuous-dosing

·         Extended-cycle pills.
