The birth control pill contains certain hormones that prevent ovulation, thereby preventing conception. Many women take the pill vaginally (in the vagina) once per day. However, the pill is only most effective when you take it at the same time every day for a year. One of the main methods of birth control involves taking two pills one before ovulation and another one just a few hours after ovulation. If this method is used continuously for a year then the woman can expect to achieve pregnancy each month.

This method of preventing pregnancy involves not taking any hormonal contraceptive pills while you are pregnant. You can still have sexual intercourse with your partner and when you finish your period you must visit your healthcare provider for a follow up appointment to check that you are still ovulating. If you have missed your period then you should visit your healthcare provider within seven days of missing your period and take a new birth control pill.

Some women are trying to get pregnant without using contraceptives, but they often find that their efforts to conceive are unsuccessful. There are many reasons why the typical use of contraceptives might not be successful including the timing of intercourse, the position of the woman during intercourse, the woman's health, and even a low sperm count. For some women it might simply take time to get back into the rhythm of having intercourse. A fertility specialist can help you get back into the perfect use of contraceptives for preventing pregnancy.

Another reason why the typical use of the pill may not work is that sometimes sperm cannot penetrate the cervix and makes it into the uterus instead. Sometimes a cervical mucus blocks the sperm from ever reaching the egg. In addition, there are sometimes certain conditions such as endometriosis or polyps in the uterus that prevents the egg from being fertilized. This makes it impossible for the egg to travel down the fallopian tubes and fertilize the uterus. There are other methods of birth control that can be used to help prevent the egg from traveling down the tubes.

There are also different types of hormonal pills that are used to prevent the egg from being fertilized. These forms of hormonal contraception are generally less effective than the use of an IUD or barrier method such as the cervical caps or condoms. The average cost of a one-time use of a barrier contraceptive device such as the IUD or condoms is less than a visit to the doctor for a medication to prevent cervical cancer.

Some couples are also turning to more modern methods of birth control. These include things such as the diaphragms or condoms that can fit over the penis and prevent sperm from entering. It can be expensive though and this method is not perfect use since the spermicide used is not 100% effective. Diaphragms are also quite effective at preventing the flow of urine when a man is not trying to avoid intercourse. The average cost of these methods may seem high, but they can provide some protection for future births.
