Crysellle is an ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel which contains hormones that act to prevent unplanned pregnancies. It works by thickening the mucus in the cervix that gives difficulty for the sperm to pass through to the fallopian tubes where the egg is usually located. It also makes the uterine wall thinner that makes it hard for a fertilized egg (in any case sperm was able to pass through and come in contact with the egg) to attach itself and ripen. The hormones also give the reproductive system an impression that no fertilization has occurred and then allows the uterine wall to shed and in turn the woman to menstruate.

People resort to using cryselle for it both has a high percentage of preventing pregnancies and is easy to use. There are two types of crysele birth control packs, the 21 and 28 pills. In the 21 pills pack, 1 pill is taken everyday then is paused for 7 days until the next pack. While the 28 pills pack involves taking 1 pill for 21 days then the rest “reminder pills” for 7 days. Basically the difference is that one will not be able to lose count in the 28 pills pack.
Just as with any other medication, cryselle side effects may take place if they are not used properly. Some of the basic symptoms are nausea, vomiting, breast pain, changes in weight vaginal itching or discharge and others that are more serious. Once these symptoms appear, it is greatly recommended that one sees a physician in order to prevent prolonged side effects.

Birth control pills have been the method which women resort to for they give high percentages of effectiveness and used without much medical supervision. Solia is a birth control pill that meets these standards. It is administered, just like taking any other vitamins or food supplements and the process is clearly described to those women who use it.

Solia pills work by avoiding the sperm cells to pass through the cervix by thickening the mucus that surrounds it. In this way the sperm will not meet with the egg and fertilization will not occur. Just any other type of pill, Solia should be taken everyday. If a pill is missed, then two should be taken the next day and then continue on administering the other pills.

There are a number of side-effects that solia pills give and to experience them is a sign to consult a physician as soon as possible. The signs range from nausea, headaches, cramps and vomiting. There are women who get by these symptoms well while others really fell discomfort.

There are also cases wherein the women should let their provider know of their current lifestyle or medical state before taking the pills. One should tell whether she is smoking, breast-feeding, having a surgery or suspected pregnancy. If a woman who turns out to be already pregnant takes solia pills, it may give abnormalities to the child about to born. There have been cases like this which is really devastating so users of Solia should really be responsible in the course of taking them.

Mirena is a type of intrauterine contraceptive device. These devices are implanted in the female reproductive system, specifically the cervix. They contain hormones that work in two ways. First is that it thickens the mucus in the cervix which gives difficulty for sperm to pass through. Another is that it makes the uterus wall thinner that will result to it shedding before fertilization occurs. To some women, it effects can even prevent the ovaries to produce an egg.

• In terms of ratio comparison of birth control types, here’s where Mirena stands.
• For other intrauterine contraceptive devices it is 10 to 1000
• For the injected contraception it is 15 to 1000
• For the oral contraceptives it is 20 to 1000

As you can see Mirena proves to be the most efficacious among the types of contraceptives.

However, just as any other birth control methods there are chances encountering complications. In the off chance that fertilization occurs despite having Mirena or taking mirena pills. There is a chance of having an Ectopic Pregnancy, the egg ripening in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, which is very dangerous. So responsibility plays a major part in dealing with Mirena, the same or maybe evn greater than other types of contraceptives.

A desogen pill contains hormones that alter a woman’s menstrual cycle which prevents her from pregnancy. It works by avoiding the ovaries to produce an egg and at the same time thickens the mucus found in the cervix which disables the sperm cells to go through and reach the egg for fertilization. Desogen is taken everyday in order to have its effect on the female reproductive system. The pills should be administered at almost the same time everyday so women who use this are recommended to take the pills in a time which is easy to remember like breakfast or bed time. Desogen pills can be taken with or without food intake but if a woman experiences stomach aches or other related symptoms, then it should be taken with a meal.

Each pack of Desogen contains 28 pills and should be taken daily. If a pill is missed, there is a great chance that a woman will get pregnant. If in any case three or more pills are missed in a row, throw away the current pack then get a new one and start again. It is also prohibited to use a desogen pill if a woman recently gave birth.

An Ortho-Cyclen pill is also known to treat acne but is more commonly used for contraception. It acts by preventing the ovaries to produce an egg and at the same time, thickens the mucus of the cervix so that sperms will have difficulty to pass through and reach the egg which is located in the fallopian tubes. Ortho-Cyclen should be taken based on the doctor’s advice. Basically they will say how much one should take and when to start taking. Most would be recommended to take it at the first day of their period or the first Sunday after it begins.

Each pack of Ortho-Cyclen contains 28 pills which should be taken regularly on a daily basis. The interval of the pills should not be more than 24 hours and a new set of 28 Ortho-Cyclen pills should be available before the previous one runs out because, as mentioned above, it has to be taken regularly.

Missed pills means an increased risk of pregnancy.

Ortho-Cyclen Pills should not be taken if one just came from a pregnancy or miscarriage. Ask the doctor’s advice on when to start taking. If anybody has gone through a disease which left them bed-ridden or other circumstances, Ortho-Cyclen pills are not recommended. It is also discouraged to take these pills the woman is a smoker for it increases the chance of blood clots, stroke or heart attacks.

Marvelon pill also thickens the mucus in the cervix which makes it difficult for sperm cells to pass through to the fallopian tube for a chance to fertilize the egg. Commonly known as “the pill”, Marvelon has ethinylestradiol and desogestrel as their active ingredient that makes their own version of hormones which are the oestrogen and progesterone.

This pill is taken for 21 days, one administered each day and then includes a 7-day break when the bleeding, which is the shedding of the uterus wall, occurs. After this 7-day break, the woman continues on taking another 21 pills even if bleeding still persists after the last day of the break.

Each pack of pills are conveniently packaged with each one marked like a calendar for the woman to easily take note of the number of Marvelon pills she has taken and the days that she will take them. If in any case a pill is forgotten to be administered by a woman, it should be immediately followed by the time she remembers it even if it means that two pills should be taken at once. If in any case three days were missed, it is most likely that the contraceptive will not take any effect.

Commonly known as birth control pills, Tri-Sprintec is taken regularly by women who are having an active sexual lifestyle. It is a variation of Ortho Tri-Cyclen and an estrogen-progestin combination pill. Tri-Sprintec thickens the mucus in the cervix that gives the sperm difficulty to go through which avoids fertilization and in turn, pregnancy.

Tri-Sprintec pill is just like maintenance drugs which are taken regularly every day in order to ensure its effects on the woman’s body. One pill is administered either at noon or before going to bed. Tri-sprintec can be taken even without having a meal. If a pill is missed, a woman can take two at the same time next day. However, if the delay is almost more than 3 days, there is a great chance that the uterus will not have the effects that were mentioned above.

There are a number of reasons why Tri-Sprintec is one of the most popular types of birth control methods. Here are some of them.

• It is really an effective birth control method (with a 97-99% ratio)
• It is easy to administer.
• It lessens menstrual pain
