How does the contraceptive pill work?

Explore treatment options

Birth control pills contain synthetic hormones that stop the release of eggs from the ovaries, thin the lining of the uterus, and thicken cervical mucus, making it hard for sperm to reach the egg.

When it comes to pregnancy prevention, combined oral contraceptive pill effectiveness is over 99% when used perfectly. With human error (missed pills), birth control effectiveness drops to around 91%.

Which is the best contraceptive pill?

While some women use the pill to prevent pregnancy, others may use the pill to help manage symptoms of PCOS, endometriosis or period pain.

The best contraceptive pill for you depends on your reasons for taking the pill, plus individual factors, such as overall health, medical history, lifestyle, preferences, and potential side effects of the contraceptive pill.

FAQs about the Contraceptive Pill

Our clinicians provide the highest level of healthcare, which means that each patient is assessed on an individual basis. If our clinician determines that it is not safe for you to be prescribed the pill, or believes that you should visit a GP in person to be further assessed, you will not be issued a prescription and they will provide you with some recommendations on next steps.

The contraceptive pill is 99.7% effective when used perfectly. This rate of success drops slightly when human error is considered (when you miss a dose or take it at a different time each day).

Yes. Despite the contraceptive pill having a high success rate, it isn’t 100% effective. There is always a slight risk of pregnancy with any form of contraception.

A clinician will review your assessment and respond within 24 hours. In most cases, it will be much sooner than this.
