In each pack, all the pills contain the same amount of progestin and all the pills are active. The progestin dose in a minipill is lower than the progestin dose in any combination pill.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combination birth control pills <\/strong>contain both estrogen and progestin. Combination birth control pills come in different mixtures of active and inactive pills, depending on how often you want to have periods:\n<ul>\n<li>Conventional packs usually contain 21 active pills and seven inactive pills, or 24 active pills and four inactive pills. Bleeding occurs every month when you take the inactive pills.<\/li>\n<li>Continuous dosing or extended cycle packs typically contain 84 active pills and seven inactive pills. Bleeding generally occurs only four times a year, during the time when you take the inactive pills. Formulations that contain only active pills are available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most combination birth control pills contain 10 to 35 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol, a kind of estrogen. Women who are sensitive to hormones may benefit from taking a pill that contains a dose of estrogen at the lower end of this range. However, low-dose pills may result in more breakthrough bleeding \u2014 bleeding or spotting between periods \u2014 than higher dose pills.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The extended-cycle pill<\/strong> is a combination pill that reduces the number of menstrual periods from 13 periods a year to only four a year. That means someone who takes this pill will menstruate only once each season.\n<p>They use a combination of two hormones that are commonly used in other hormonal contraceptives. But the pill is taken continuously for 12 weeks, followed by 1 week of inactive pills, which results in a menstrual cycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do the different birth control pills work?<\/h3>\n<p>Combination birth control pills prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg. They also slow an egg&#8217;s progress through the fallopian tubes, thicken cervical mucus and thin the lining of the uterus (endometrium). These actions help keep sperm from fertilizing the egg.<\/p>\n<p>Combination pills are either monophasic (one phase) or multiphasic (many phases).Both are equally effective at preventing a pregnancy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monophasic pills deliver an even level of hormones throughout the month.<\/li>\n<li>Multiphasic ones have slightly different levels of hormones in active pills. They mimic normal hormonal changes that happen during your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/teens.webmd.com\/girls\/all-about-menstruation\" data-crosslink-type=\"article\" data-metrics-link=\"\">menstrual cycle<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The minipill slows an egg&#8217;s progress through the fallopian tubes, thickens cervical mucus and thins the endometrium. This prevents sperm from reaching the egg. The minipill sometimes also suppresses ovulation.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the side effects of birth control pills?<\/h3>\n<p>There are side effects of birth control pills, although most are not serious:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Sore or swollen\u00a0breasts<\/li>\n<li>Small amounts of\u00a0blood, or\u00a0spotting, between periods<\/li>\n<li>Lighter periods<\/li>\n<li>Mood changes<\/li>\n<li>Mild headache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What if I forget to take my birth control pill?<\/h3>\n<p>If you forget to take some of the pills, you will have menstrual bleeding at irregular times, and the likelihood of pregnancy increases. \u00a0When you forget to take a pill, take it as soon as you can. Take your next pill at the usual time. If you forget to take two or more pills in a row, you should refrain from sexual intercourse or use a backup method of contraception. You also should contact your health care professional on what to do next.<\/p>\n<h3>How effective is the pill?<\/h3>\n<p>If pills are taken every day at the same time, and each pack is started\u00a0on time, oral contraceptives are <strong>99% effective<\/strong> in preventing pregnancy. \u00a0On average, oral contraceptives are <strong>93-97% effective<\/strong> because women\u00a0often miss pills or do not start a new pack on time. Contact your\u00a0healthcare provider if you are experiencing any <a title=\"Pregnancy Symptoms \u2014 Early Signs of Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/getting-pregnant\/early-pregnancy-symptoms\/\">pregnancy\u00a0symptoms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"091e9c5e80007763-3-10\">What Are Levonorgestrel and Ulipristal?<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the other pills, these aren\u2019t intended for regular\u00a0birth control. Levonorgestrel (Fallback Solo, Next Choice One Dose, Opcicon One-Step, Plan B One-Step) and ulipristal acetate (Ella) can greatly lower your chances of\u00a0getting pregnant\u00a0if you had unprotected\u00a0sex\u00a0or if you\u2019re concerned that your usual birth control method didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>Levonorgestrel is about 88% effective if you use it as directed. You need to take it as soon as possible within 3 days of having sex.<\/p>\n<p>Ulipristal is about 60% to 70% effective if you use it correctly. You need to take it ASAP within 5 days of having sex.<\/p>\n<section>Levonorgestrel side effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Menstrual changes<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness<\/li>\n<li>Breast pain<\/li>\n<li>Tiredness<\/li>\n<li>Lower belly\u00a0pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>Ulipristal side effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Belly pain<\/li>\n<li>Menstrual pain<\/li>\n<li>Tiredness<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<h3 id=\"091e9c5e80007763-7-27\">Things to Keep in Mind When Taking Birth Control Pills<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep another form of birth control, like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sex\/birth-control\/birth-control-spermicides\" data-crosslink-type=\"article\" data-metrics-link=\"\">spermicidal<\/a>\u00a0foam and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sex\/rm-quiz-condoms\" data-crosslink-type=\"tools\" data-metrics-link=\"\">condoms<\/a>, on hand in case you forget to take a pill.<\/li>\n<li>Carry your pills with you if you don&#8217;t always\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sleep-disorders\/sleep-disorders-faq\" data-crosslink-type=\"article\" data-metrics-link=\"\">sleep<\/a>\u00a0at the same place.<\/li>\n<li>Take your pill at the same time every day.<\/li>\n<li>Get your refills soon after you start the last prescription.
