birth control

Still going strong after fifty years, the oral contraceptive commonly called The Pill is still the most popular form of birth control used among women. Over the fifty years it has improved and now it contains less hormones which translates to less hormones.

More couples every year are making the decision to not have children. The reasons vary-some people are choosing their careers over kids, others feel that they are not financially stable, and some people are just choosing to enjoy their partners and forgo a family.

The pill is a form of birth control used to prevent pregnancy. They contain low doses of the hormones estrogen and progestin which are similar to a woman’s natural hormones that control her menstrual cycle. Different brands of birth control pills contain different amounts of each of these hormones and many women have to try a few different kinds before finding one that works for her.
