Description
It’s important to note that this form of contraception will not protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This form of contraceptive is designed to prevent pregnancy. When the combined pill is taken properly, it is 99% effective. Many women also choose to take them to regulate their period, help with heavy periods, reduce period pain, and also to reduce the appearance of acne.A lot of contraceptive pills need to be taken for 21 days with a 7-day break. During this break, many women experience a breakthrough bleed, which is similar to a normal period. This is nothing to be alarmed about and is a normal part of the contraceptive pill cycle. However, there are other forms of contraceptive pills that need to be taken for 28 days without a pause. These types of pills can stop regular menstrual cycles from occurring, which means they could make your periods lighter or stop together.
