But birth control pills affect the accident arose pregnancy and fertility? Undoubtedly, this is a hot topic, and the impact the pill for pregnancy is very important to know not only the doctors.

The mechanism of action of tablets

There are several types of birth control pills, as the hormonal and non-hormonal. For non-hormonal contraceptive pills are spermicides, used locally. The composition of spermicides contains active chemicals which are detrimental effect on sperm. Furthermore, the active ingredient spermicides forms a protective film over the vaginal mucosa. The effectiveness of non-hormonal birth control pills Non-hormonal birth control pills: minimal side effects   It is not very high and close to 70%. They also cause some seal cervical mucus Cervical canal - the path traversed by every person   and prevent spermatozoa to penetrate into the uterus.

Hormonal birth control pills are of two types: combined oral contraceptive pill and mini-pill. As part of the combined pill contains two types of hormones: estrogen and progestin in the mini-pill contains only progestogen. Accordingly, they are different mechanisms contraceptive effect.

Progestogens pill or mini-pill, have an effect on the cervical mucus, causing its thickening, and change the properties of the endometrium to prevent implantation.

Unwanted pregnancy while skipping the contraceptive pill

In case of violation of the rules of oral contraceptives is quite possible to become pregnant. If a woman has forgotten to take the pill on time, it shall drink it as soon as remembered, and for seven days to use barrier methods of contraception.

The fact that birth control pills are often prescribed after abortion or miscarriage, and after they receive a woman can not become pregnant. But in this case, you should not blame the contraceptives, and the traumatic effect of scraping the mucous membrane of the uterus.
