Hormonal contraception shuts down the menstrual cycle all together.

Hormonal contraception stops the menstrual cycle so that you no longer ovulate, thus also in turn you don't menstruate - the idea that hormonal contraception regulates your periods/cycles is thus a myth. People still see regular bleeds on most forms of hormonal contraception, for example on the pill, but this is a withdrawal bleed caused by hormonal drops when going from active to inactive bleeds rather than regular menstruation you'd get with a healthy menstrual cycle.

There are several kinds of hormonal contraception:

1. Combined oral contraception,

2. Progestogen-only pills,

3. Progestogen-only injectable contraception,

4. Combined injectable contraception,

5. Subdermal implants.
