There are several methods to avoid pregnancy if you are not ready for it. Using anti-pregnancy pills (also called contraceptive pills) is one among them.
Anti-pregnancy pills are pills taken orally to avoid getting pregnant. There are pills that can be taken within three days after unprotected sex or there are 28 days and 21 days packs, which are supposed to take from the first day of a period, and the first Sunday followed by the first day of period respectively. Actually, the anti-pregnancy pills consist of synthetic female hormones.
As we already mentioned anti-pregnancy or contraceptive pills come in two kinds of packs. The pack, which contain 28 pills and pack that contain 21 pills.
There are two types of anti-pregnancy pills.
Combined oral contraceptive pills are found to be more effective.
Anti-pregnancy pills mainly focus on stopping the process of ovulation. If no egg is released, then there will be no fertilization. The ovulation happens when pituitary gland releases hormones FSH and LH. These hormones prompt the ovaries to release the egg. The pituitary gland gets stimulated only if the estrogen level peaks, which generally happens towards the middle of the menstrual cycle. As we already mentioned, the anti-pregnancy pills mainly consist of synthetic female hormones estrogen and progestin. Estrogen equalizes the hormone levels (not allowing the estrogen level to peak), thereby ceasing the ovulation.
Progestin hinder with the production of LH by the pituitary gland. It, likewise, makes the lining of the uterine wall thin, so that implantation of a fertilized egg will be impossible. It will make the thickness of the cervical mucus to increase, therefore the movement of the sperm is hindered. It will also partially freeze the ability of the sperm to fertilize the egg.
