Birth Control Methods
Birth control methods have been used since many years, even centuries ago. The goal of this process is to regulate the amount of children that a given person plans to bring into the world, or to altogether not reproduce at all. There are a wide variety of birth control methods, including condoms, intrauterine devices, rings, patches, spermicides, sponges, diaphragms, and surgical procedures. However, probably the safest and most effective birth control methods are medications like Drospirenone & Ethinyl Estradiol (Yasmin) and Ovral-L.
Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol hamper ovulation, or the release of an egg from an ovary, and also leads to changes in the cervical and uterine inner wall, making it troublesome for sperm to approach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to bind to the uterus. The amalgamation of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Ovral-L is an oral contraceptive. It is an extended-cycle birth control method, which is to say that it supplies more time between menstrual periods. With it, you will get your period once every three months (four times a year). Ovral-L is also a combined oral contraceptive, a birth control pill that contains both an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin (levonorgestrel). It works to prevent pregnancy primarily by inhibiting ovulation (the maturation and release of eggs from the ovaries). However, it also prevents pregnancy in two other different manners. It alters the cervical mucus (the fluid of the cervix, which is the lower, narrow part of the uterus that is connected to the vagina), making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. Also, it alters the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium), making it less receptive to an embryo.
There is no reason women need to have a monthly period while using contraceptive methods. In fact, the period that is experienced while taking contraceptive pills isn't really a period at all. Because ovulation does not happen while taking a contraceptive pill, the body does not prepare for a possible pregnancy by building up the lining of the uterus. Therefore, there is no need to discard the lining (as with a regular period). Instead, the period that takes place because of contraceptives is actually provoked by a departure of the hormones in the pills, which causes bleeding. As with any other birth control devices, combined hormonal contraceptives must be used properly and regularly.
