Sexually active people, and those who regularly engage themselves in a sexual act, prefer using contraception for preventing unwanted pregnancy. Condoms and oral contraceptive pills have become the most popular contraception methods among people. Condoms are used during a sexual act, and the oral contraceptive pills are supposed to be taken by women on a regular basis. You are required to take one contraceptive pill on a daily basis, and need to be careful enough to take the pill the same time as the previous day. Combination pills, a type of oral contraceptive pills, contain two artificial female hormones, oestrogen and progestogen, as their active ingredients. The mini pills, which is another type of oral contraceptive pills, contain only one artificial female hormone, the progestogen, as its active ingredient.
Combination pills give a three way protection against pregnancy, by tricking your body into believing that ovulation has already occurred, so as to prevent ovulation from occurring, thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the womb, and altering the womb lining to prevent an egg from growing further. Yasmin is one of the most popular contraceptive pill, which is a combination pill, and has been proven to be almost 99% effective in its task. This pill contains ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and drospirenone (progestogen) as its active ingredients. A new version of Yasmin has now been introduced, which is known as Beyaz. This new pill goes a step beyond the original pill, as it assures, that even if a woman does get pregnant, the baby will not be born with serious heart defects.
Ortho Tri-Cyclen is another combination pill widely used by women, and is proven to be very effective in preventing pregnancy. The active ingredients present in this pill are ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and norgestimate (progestogen) that helps in preventing pregnancy. This birth control pill is most effective if taken on the very first day of your menstrual cycle. You need to take this pill for all 28 days of your menstrual cycle. For the last 7 days of your menstrual cycle, you are supposed to take the 7 hormone free tablets that are provided in the pack, and during this time period, you can have your periods. You should be careful enough to take the pill on same time, on a daily basis. If you do not take the pill on the very first day of your menstrual cycle, then you will be required to take extra contraceptive measures for the next seven days.
If you miss a dose of Ortho Tri-Cyclen, then the chances of you getting pregnant increases. If you miss out on any of the active pills, you should take them as soon as you remember. But avoid taking an overdose, as it can lead to serious side effects. Women who are pregnant or have a doubt that they are pregnant and are below the age of 18 years, should avoid taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Even those women, should avoid taking this pill, who are having coronary artery disease, severe heart valve disorder, high blood pressure, a history of stroke or blood clot, circulation problems, cancers such as breast or uterine cancer, unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease or liver cancer, severe migraine and a history of jaundice that is caused by pregnancy or birth control pills.
