What are contraceptes pill and how are they used

Hi

Contraceptive pills are a form of birth control. They are a pill that is typically taken every day that will reduce the chance of a woman becoming pregnant.

There are many different types of birth control methods, pills, patches, rings, injections etc… Have a look at the following links for additional information on birth control pills and birth control options. The information is provided by options for sexual health and Sexuality and U.

If you are interested in the contraceptive pill or another type of birth control method I would recommend talking with your health care provider. They would be able to discuss the different methods with you and help you decide which one you would work best for you. Let us know if you need help finding a health care provider in your area.
