How does the pill work?
Birth control pills prevent ovulation by maintaining more consistent levels of the progesterone and estrogen hormones. When starting BCPs, it will take 7 days for the pill to become effective at preventing pregnancy. Thank you and ChaCha on!

Birth Control Pills are made from hormones, and the hormones keep ovaries from producing eggs, which prevents pregnancy. ChaCha!

About Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, or the release of an egg into the ovaries. Birth control pills contain hormones -- estrogen, progestin or both -- which prevent the egg from being released before menstruation. If no egg is released, a sperm cannot join with it. Hense, pregnancy is prevented. There are many different pills, so consult with your doctor to choose one that is right for you.
