Mircette – oral contraceptive pill
The women who are fertile and who do not want to stay pregnant usually take certain precautions and use some contraceptive method. While the condoms are the most effective male contraceptive method, the birth control pills are the most common and widely used female contraceptive method.
The contraceptive pills contain certain synthetic hormones, which do not allow the ovaries to let the egg and without a mature egg the conception cannot be achieved. However, if the egg is fertilized after all, the pill does not stop to act, but it thickens the cervix and makes the wall of the uterus thinner so that the embryo cannot successfully implant itself in the endometrium.
