Birth Control Pills - All you need to know

If you are planning to go on birth control pills, the one question you may have is how effective is birth control. Another question would be can you get pregnant on birth control? Stay tuned and we'll answer all your questions!

Ok, so birth control pills are 99% effective and work just fine for most women. However, the most important factor here is that you have to be regular with the birth control pills. A few reasons why your birth control pills may not be effective could be:

Irregularity – Sometimes women forget to take the pill and sometimes the side effects associated with the pill, such as nausea can cause non-compliance. You may then feel that the birth control effectiveness is not what you expected.

Antibiotics and birth control – Certain antibiotics reduce the birth control pills' effectiveness. So if you are on antibiotics for a long period of time, it would be better to use an alternate contraception like condom.
