Umm..if you're taking birth control to regulate your period, does it still work to prevent pregnancies?


Umm..if you're taking birth control to regulate your period, does it still work to prevent pregnancies?

Yes. The pill contains either a natural or synthetic version of the hormone progesterone (and sometimes estrogen, depending on the brand you take). Progesterone prevents pregnancy 3 ways. It inhibits ovulation, thickens the the cervical mucus so sperm can't get through and makes the uterine lining inhospitable to a fertilized egg.
If you are taking the birth control correctly then yes it should as its main function is to prevent pregnancy. I presume you're on the combined pill?
Yes
That's generally one of the more pleasant side effects. Unless you are on an extremely low-dosage one. In which case probably use a back-up method.
yes, while it regulates your period, you're still "on" the pill, so of course, it prevents pregnancy!
YES!
Yes
