With regard to birth control - you must take one pill every day continuously and you must not miss any pills. Missing pills will put you at risk of pregnancy. Taking antibiotics or St John Wart will also put you at risk of pregnancy. Birth control will not prevent pregnancy until you have been taking the pills for 4 weeks +.
Answer:Birth control is designed to prevent pregnancy - when used as directed by your heath care provider birth control devises prevent pregnancy 70% to 99% of the time - depending on the method and how well the couple use their choice of contraception.
Birth control comes in many forms; pills (hormones), barrier (sponge, condom, diaphragm), internal devices (IUD, NuvaRing) and implants, patches & injection (hormones).
If you aren't sure what will work best for you, see your MD, Midwife or Family Planning Clinic.
