There are a wide variety of ways to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, including a birth control implant and the emergency contraceptive pill. 

Many women in the UK choose to take birth control pills, and there can be a number of reasons for this. At Pharmacy Planet, it is possible to buy Femodene and the Loestrin pill online, to ensure you never run out of contraceptive pills.

Birth control can take many different forms and it is important to remember that protection against unwanted pregnancy is not necessarily the same as protection against STIs – Sexually Transmitted Diseases  - and HIV Aids.

One of the most commonly prescribed contraceptive options is the Birth Control Pill. Many women find ‘the pill’ to be a convenient and well-tolerated choice, which can be easily taken orally for 21 days each month. The Birth Control Pill is considered more than 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy when taking carefully as prescribed each month.

These are pills used for controlling birth commonly referred to as ‘the pill’ which contains hormones that change the functioning of the body. The pills are a type of female contraception and are quite effective in preventing pregnancy. The two hormones found in the pills are a man-made form of progestin and oestrogen which occur naturally in a woman’s body. These hormones stops ovulation from taking place thus no egg is released during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Progestin as well makes the mucus found around the cervix to be thick and sticky thus preventing sperms from gaining entrance to the uterus.

For the combination pills to be effective at preventing pregnancy, you should take one pill each day. It is advisable to take the pill at a similar time on a daily basis as this enhances the ability of you remembering to take the pill. 

Birth control pills are available in packs and in most cases, these comprise of 3 weeks of hormone pills and on the fourth week, the pills are hormone free. During this week, you will get your periods and after they are over, you can start on a new pack.
