 Contraception method has become a common practice nowadays. The reason of this is very simple – women don’t want to spend their whole fertile life being pregnant.
It seems that the pill is one of the safest contraception methods – safest in the sense of preventing a pregnancy. Besides, pills is a practical method as it does not require anything else but a good enough memory (to remind you to take it every day).
For women concerned with the way the pill works, the fact that it is proven to be an abortifacient method is very important as a baby is a baby and it doesn’t matter how young it, even a few seconds young. Because of this reason, it is important to be aware if what you are taking conforms to your standards from this point of view.
Acquaint yourself with detailed information on the way the pill works. There are five known ways but only two main are described hereunder: suppressing ovulation and inhibiting implantation.
Suppressing Ovulation
Ovulation process means the following – a gland situated at the base of our brain (the pituitary gland) creates hormones which are responsible for the ovaries’ stimulation to produce a mature egg and to release it.
The pill contains artificial hormones that hold back the natural hormones that are responsible for producing ovulation. The chief function of the pill is to stop the hormones’ passing to the ovary; consequently, ovules can’t reach maturity and are not released from the ovary. For the reason that the pill brakes this chain, and a mature (to be fertilized) egg almost does not exist, obviously, the female is chemically sterile and conception cannot happen.
Nevertheless, this is the ideal theoretical situation because in practice, the artificial hormones of the pill do not always stop the ovulation, so it occurs in 2%-10% of the cycles of women who take the pill. To prevent the pregnancy even if ovulation might take place, the pill has a "B plan", which is inhibiting implantation of the embryo.
