There are many different things oral Birth Control does. I don't know all the facts, but I do know this: The birth makes the womb less hospitable for an egg to settle. (the layer of blood is less, the egg can't attach to the layer....things like that) also, at the entrance of your womb there is a 'mucus plug'. in normal circumstances, the molecules in this mucus plug arrange themselves in a way that they for neat lines (you could compare it to gates) so his little swimmers can get through. When you take the birth control pill, these molecules won't change their arrangement, so it's nearly impossible for the swimmers to get through. There certainly are more things, but this is all I know.
