What are birth control pills?

Also referred to as an oral contraceptive (OC) or simply "the Pill," birth control pills are prescription medications that contain hormones similar to the ones a woman's body makes naturally. These hormones are called estrogens and progestins. Ethinyl estradiol is the name of the estrogen in most of today's birth control pills, but there are many different progestins available, depending on the brand of pill you take.

How does the birth control Pill work?

Essentially, the Pill tricks the body into "thinking" it is pregnant. It does this by preventing the body from releasing eggs. In case the body releases an egg, the Pill makes it difficult for sperm to travel toward the egg and fertilize it.

How effective is the Pill in preventing pregnancy?

With perfect use, meaning that the Pill is taken at the same time every day, exactly as directed, the Pill is more than 99% effective. With typical use, meaning that the Pill is not always taken exactly as directed, the Pill is more than 95% effective. When pregnancy does occur while on the Pill, it's usually because the Pill was not taken as prescribed.

Certain things can temporarily change the effectiveness of the Pill. For example, being on antibiotics, St. John's Wort, or certain seizure medications can reduce the Pill's effectiveness. Vomiting and diarrhea can also negatively affect pregnancy protection with the Pill. If you require any of these medications or have experienced any of these physical symptoms, it is essential that you immediately speak with your healthcare professional. You should also and use a backup method of birth control, such as condoms or spermicide.

How long do I have to be on the Pill before it takes effect?

This depends on the day you start taking your pills. Day 1 Starters should be protected after the first day they take the Pill. Sunday Starters need to be on the Pill for one week before pregnancy protection takes full effect. Sunday Starters should use a backup method of birth control (such as condoms or spermicides) for the first week that they are on the Pill. Please see prescribing information for more detail.

Is there a chance that I can get pregnant while on the Pill?

If you take the Pill as instructed, your chance of becoming pregnant is less than one in 100. About five out of 100 women using the Pill become pregnant, but most of these pregnancies occur in women who do not correctly follow the instructions given in their pill packs.

Does the Pill protect me against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?

No. Birth control pills are only indicated for the prevention of pregnancy. They provide absolutely no protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections. Condoms with spermicide can provide some protection from STDs.
