How to take birth control pills for maximum effectiveness?: Daily birth control pills are a highly effective method of preventing pregnancy if used correctly and consistently. Birth control pills are divided into 2 types: 21-pill pack and 28-pill pack, which have slightly different usage methods
- 21-pill pack
Description: All 21 pills contain hormones, no placebo pills
Usage: Start within the first 5 days of your period, take 1 pill a day at the same time every day. After taking all 21 pills, take a 7-day break without taking any pills during this period. Your period will come. After 7 days, start a new pack immediately
– Example of taking: If you start the first pack on a Monday and finish all 21 days, take a 7-day break and start a new pack the following Monday - 28-pill pack
Description: This pack contains 28 pills, divided into 21 hormone pills and 7 placebo pills (no hormones)
Usage: Start within the first 5 days of your period, take 1 pill every day continuously without a break. When you finish the pack, start a new pack immediately. Your period will come during the 7 placebo pills
– Example of taking: If you start the first pack on a Monday, continue taking every day until all 28 pills are finished, and start a new pack the following Monday - What to do if you forget to take a birth control pill?
– Forget 1 pill: Take it as soon as you remember and take the next pill at the usual time
– Forget 2 pills: Take 2 pills as soon as you remember and take another 2 pills the next day
– Forget 3 or more pills: Stop taking that pack and use a temporary birth control method such as condoms. Start a new pack on the first day of your next period - If taken correctly, the effectiveness is up to 99%, but if you forget to take the pills or take them inconsistently, the effectiveness will decrease. Therefore, you should study the usage method and consult an expert if you have any questions
